Hello, and thank you for your question. It sounds like Aspyn may have an eye infection. I would recommend taking her to the vet within the next 24 hours if her eye is not back to normal by then. The vet can check for an underlying cause, such as a corneal ulcer or foreign body, and prescribe the appropriate eye drops. In the meantime, it is important to prevent her from scratching or rubbing the eye. I would use an e-collar (cone) for this purpose. You can also try applying a warm, wet cloth to her eye for a few minutes to help provide relief and wipe away any discharge gently. I hope this helps, and that Aspyn feels better soon!
