It's hard to know without a more thorough history and a photo. That sounds she may have an infection or significant irritation. I recommend to have Missy examined by her veterinarian today if possible. Make sure she does not rub at the eye as this may make it worse. She may need to wear an elizabethan collar. Best of luck.
