I wouldn't advise the neosporin without further exam. This is because neosporin ointment can cause further irritation if the cornea has an injury. Bella should be seen by a veterinarian to make sure the eye itself is ok as well as make sure she isn't developing an upper respiratory tract infection as those can begin with eye discharge.
