I am sorry that things are so rough for you!

his eye has opened up now but is gungey 
I have a pig who has one eye and his eye isnt sewn up yet so i have to salt water it every 2 days or it sticks together, just get some warm water and put the salt in, stir it with a spoon to dissolve then get a cotton ball and dab the sal****er on the eye a few times,
Its a temporary fix until you get to the vet and it will sterilise anything that might be in there,salt water can never hurt
goodluck

Remember, you are bigger than him. Gentle, but firm.
Easier said than done, especially when he's wriggly which does make things more tricky, but the principle of you being bigger and stronger than him still counts!
Have you got anyone who can hold him for you while you administer the drops, if it comes down to it?
