Ouch! Meeka needs to be examined by the veterinarian. She likely has an eye infection and something like a corneal abrasion or even 'dry eye' is possible. Have her examined today and protect the eye from any rubbing (she may need to wear an elizabethan collar at all times). I hope she feels better quickly.
