Por Jojo! The eye definitely look irritated with a lot of discharge. You can try benadryl twice a day (see link below) and flush it with eye irrigating solution but I am afraid that she will need some prescription eye drops from a vet. If she isn't improved or worsens within 12-24 hours, I would have your vet look at her. Your vet will be able to make sure there isn't a corneal ulcer and get her on the proper eye drops to help her heal quickly. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/#!
