His left eye looks like it has broken blood vessels, the right eye has some redness, but not as much as the left. I am taking him to the doctors tomorrow, but Im wondering if it occured from him rubbing his eye's too hard? He has had these symptoms for about 2 days.

I really dont think its pink eye. Ive seen pink eye before and his eyes dont look like they are infected with pink eye at all. His eyes have little red veins all over, especially in his left eye...like when your eyes are tired and they become blood shot

It could be allergies. With the crazy weather and stuff blooming everywhere, it may be something irritating him!

If you breastfeed start putting breastmilk in the eye 3-4 times a day, if this is an infection and/or pinkeye that will help to clear it. If it isn't breastmilk will do no harm.
If you are not breastfeeding the next safest, though less effective option is saline drops. This can help flush out the eye, and kill certain bacteria so this can also help. If you don't have saline drops you can make your own by boiling water, cooling and adding enough salt to make the water as salty as normal tears.
This will provide some relief until you get to the doctor.

It sounds like it could be the begining of pink eye.
