A check up would be needed anyway as the signs you are describing could be compatible with corneal ulceration. Antibiotics eye drops may be necessary (clindamycin eye drops 0.5% for humans would be ok). If a corneal ulcer is present medical treatment may not be enough to solve the problem.

Ouch, Sorbet! These ocular changes can be due to corneal ulcers, conjunctivitis from viruses, etc. A vet needs to examine Sorbet to evaluate her eye for scratches, check her tear production and eye pressures. Different conditions all have different treatments, but unfortunately, there are no OTC drops that will be effective. Eye conditions can progress rapidly, so take Sorbet to her vet or an ER vet as soon as possible. In the meantime, keep her from scratching or rubbing the eye by putting an Elizabethan or cone collar on her.

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection and conjunctivitis is related to it. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics eye drops may be needed, but corneal damages must be rule out first before applying any drops.

Unfortunately a part from cleaning the eye with a wet cloth, there is no effective remedy that can be performed at home. This presentation is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to a trauma or infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well.
