This could be the beginning of an upper respiratory, a conjunctivitis, or even an ulcer on the eye. I would try to flush it out with some artificial tears. If she is continuing to hold it closed, then I would have your vet take a look at it. Your vet will be able to determine the problem with the eye and get her started on the proper medicated eye drops if needed. I hope this helps!
