Swollen unopened puppy eye?

Question

I am caring for an orphaned puppy.  He went to the vet at 5 days, and he's 8 days today.  Last night he had bad diarrhea, and this morning a bloody stool.  He's been very listless today, and it worried me, so I took him to the vet.  Until today he had been thriving.  The vet did a parvo test and gave him a shot of antibiotics, and he's perked up a little... he's eating better now, but I pointed out that one of his eyes was VERY swollen, and the eyes are not opened yet.  He didn't give me any information on it.. he sort of just blew it off.  It is really bothering me, because I'm wondering if that's where his infection is... if the infection is in his eye, shouldn't they open it or something and clean it?  I'm not sure, and I can't find any information on the web.  I'm considering taking him to a different vet tomorrow for it.  Any and all help is appreciated.

My pup had alot of problems with his eyes ever since we got him about a year and a half ago. My vet who is amazing said that when it comes to the eyes, it doesnt matter how little or big the question is to you, but go ahead and ask him because the eyes are something you do not want to mess around with

my dog had the exact problem.
keep your dog laying down resting.
put some eye drops it works on dogs.
buy dog medicine google everything!.
keep the eye untouched put cold water around the eye not in it!
go to your vet one more time and complain about the eye.
dont go hug touch the eye it will give you an illness.
