Hello Wpgsbaybeedee,
According to my research, Eeyore is a boy.
On page 69 of The Pooh Story Book (Hardcover) by A. A. Milne,
when they talk about Eeyore, they talk about 'he'.
"... has other people looking at it. And, anyhow, Eeyore was in the
river, and now he wasn't, so he hadn't done any harm. "How did you
fall in, Eeyore?" asked Rabbit, as he dried him with Piglet's
handkerchief. "I didn't," said Eeyore. "But how-" "I was BOUNCED,"
..."
I used the Amazon search inside book feature using the keywords
Eeyore, river, and fall to find this reference.

From the Winnie-the-Pooh FAQ:
What is the Gender of Each Character? Are they Boys or Girls?
?Piglet is a boy. And, despite the pink ribbon occasionally seen on
Eeyore's tail in Disney-drawn images, Eeyore is also boy. Says Eeyore,
"At least I was...last time I looked. Thanks for noticing me." In
fact, every character in "Winnie-the-Pooh", and "The House at Pooh
Corner" are boys except Kanga. There are references to other female
characters, namely some of Rabbit's friends and relations, but none of
them have any speaking parts.?
Why are all the majority of the characters, in Winnie-the-pooh, of the male gender?
?First, think about the times in which this book was published. Did
you know this book was published in 1926, yet women did not get the
full right to vote in England until 1928? (Not that this is totally
relevant, it's just an interesting fact). Now, look at it from the
eyes of a young boy. Do most young boys who have stuffed animals give
them boy's names or girl's names? Therein lies their gender. The only
real female character is a Mom.?

"Is Eeyore a boy or girl?"
?Eeyore is a boy. Take a look at the chapter Eeyore Joins the Game in
The House at Pooh Corner. It's the chapter that they play poohsticks
and Eeyore falls in the river. When they talk about Eeyore, they talk
about 'he'.?

Excerpt from ABR November/December 1997: Volume 19, Issue 1:
?All but one of the animals in the 100 Acre Woods were male: Winnie-the-Pooh,
Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Owl, Rabbit, and Roo. The exception, Kanga, was a
mother who never participated in any of the adventures.?
