It could be an abrasion or ulcer on the eye, something stuck under the eyelid, conjunctivitis, etc. Keep the room dim to help prevent pain, and use a washcloth to gently rub the lids to see if anything comes out of the eye. Otherwise, Flo should be checked out by a vet for diagnosis and appropriate medications.
