Poor Shay! Her eye could be watering due to injury, infection, or allergies. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would have Shay seen by a vet immediately to diagnose what is causing her eye to water so it can be treated.
