Anyone know how to get it out? I will take him to the emergency after hours vet if needed. It is a small piece of grass. His eye is getting red and it is bothering him. I have tried rubbing his eye but it isn't evening moving.

If you have a saline wash for your contacts you can use that to flush it out. Plain water will work but will be more irritating.

Hi, I am a veterinary technician and the best thing to do is to get a piece of cloth, like a cotton wrap or flat towel, and with the cloth in your finger tips, kind of pick at the piece of grass. Or you could get some water, not real cold or hot, and drop some drops in it and move the skin around his eye in a circlular motion so it will move the piece of grass to the side or even out. Then you can wipe with the cloth in hope to catch the piece of grass. If still not succeeded you can take him to the vet. But prepare for a bill.

Take him to the vet. Thats the best thing to do. Rubbing his eye will only make the grass get deeper in the eye.

Do not rub the eye !!!! And do not put soapy water either. rubbing could cause the eye to get scratched. Run tepid. lukewarm water in his eye to try and flush it out. If that doesn't work then go to the vets.

TRY USING A COTTON WOOL BALL SOAKED IN WARM WATER AND WIPE FROM THE INSIDE CORNER OF THE EYE TO THE OUTER EDGE IF THAT DOES NOT WORK YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE VET

try putting human eye drops in it and if not that...warm water or give him a bath and splash his face with soapy water it will clean out his eye and he wont realize what you're doing untill its out and he isnt as bothered by it
