That is likely to be due to severe conjunctivitis, probably secondary to an infection (please post a picture to receive a more specific answer from us). A check up would be ideally needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics. You can use 0.5% chloramphenicol (human eye drops). Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well.
