It is possible this is a congenital abnormality. Some dogs can be born with a condition called microphthalmia where the eye is very small and under developed. Some dogs maybe born with a persistent membrane over the eye as well. Unless your veterinarian thinks antibiotics are needed, I don’t recommend to use them. As she develops you will get a better idea of what is happening. You may also try resubmitting your post with a photo. That may make it easier to identify. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
