This looks like a lacrimal (tear producing) gland that has become inflamed or infected and and then prolapsed (popped up out of normal position). You can rinse the eye with tap water in a syringe (then drop it on the eye), and use a product such as this: but if its not improving over the next few days I would recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian. thanks for asking PetCoach!
