Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are many reasons Chloe's eye may look like that: an infection, a scratch on her eye, glaucoma or inflammation. It won't hurt to give her the Keflex but we treat eye conditions with ointments or drops. I always recommend immediate veterinary care when there are issues with the eyes. Good luck!
