Eye problems are common in spaniels. There is no inflammation but also dry curst and debris noted on the eye lids around the eye. I would have your vet check for an infection and check for dry eye. Each requires different medicine but can be resolved

Hello. Red eye can be caused from her eyes being dry, from a small scratch, allergies, trauma, glaucoma, uveitis, or other causes. I would recommend getting some natural tears from the store and lubricating the eye with this. If Jo is not squinting, blinking, is eating/drinking, and otherwise seems ok then you can wait a day or so to see if the redness goes away. If she at any point is blinking, seems sore or moves away when you pet her head on the left side, the eye itself looks cloudy, or any other concerns you need to have her into a vet. Good luck with Jo.
