Thanks for the replies guys,
Baxter went to the vet today and he's been prescribed xalatan eye drops. Vet said it sould reduce the fluid coming out of his eyes and also relieve some pressure off of his eyes if anything. We were also given oral tablets called Methazolamide. And also has an appointment scheduled within the next week or so to check his progress. If nothing has changed by then, he will be getting a drug implanted into both of his eyes asap.

He is nothing liking the eye drops and all, wipes them off with his paws immediately! and is SO sneaky at not taking his medicine. I finally shoved it into a spoon full of peanut butter and he finally took it.

@ Dottiesyrky:
Since Baxter has lost some eye sight, he has become a lot more aggressive, not towards me but to other people. Doc said it might be that since he can't see too well he's not too familiar with them & also might be irritated from the constant headache he has from the pressure being put on his eyes! I can't help but to feel bad for the little guy, so I don't get on to him, I can't even imagine NOT being able to see.
