Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I agree with Diana about putting a cone on your dog to keep him from scratching.
My Max had several corneal ulcers. The vet should do the eye stain test after about a week to make sure the ulcer has healed. With Max, I also learned not to bathe him for at least a couple weeks even after the ulcer had healed.
Sometimes the healed part of the cornea is not stable and can open again. Baths, warm water and possible shampoo, can make it open again.
The last ulcer Max had was the worst. I waited a month to give him a full bath. In the meantime, I used a slightly damp washcloth to wipe down his head.
Repeated ulcers with long-term irritation and medication caused a hair to grow under his eyelid. The hair scratched his eye causing the last ulcer. He had to have laser surgery to zap the hair, remove it and keep it from growing back.
If your dog's problems continue, a trip to a specialist, an ophthalmologist would be worth it.
Best wishes.
