It's hard to tell if that is the third eyelid peeking up, or something wrong with the iris/cornea. In either case, this is something that should be seen by your vet to rule out injuries or infections that need to be treated. Until you can get to the vet, keeping the eye as clean and dry as possible, and keeping Rusko from pawing at it with an Elizabethan (cone) collar is best.
