The most you can do at home is to place an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent rubbing or scratching and keep the eye free of discharge. She may have sustained a corneal injury and/or developed an infection. A foreign body cannot be ruled out. Have her seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER as soon as you can. Potential eye injuries or infections should be treated as emergencies since they can be quite painful and may cause permanent loss of vision.
