It seems like your dog is experiencing some discomfort in her eye, which could be due to a variety of reasons such as an eye infection, allergies, or irritation from a foreign object. The redness and discharge, along with her tendency to keep the eye closed, suggest she might be feeling some irritation or pain.

At home, you can gently clean the area around her eye with a soft, damp cloth to remove any discharge. It's important to use clean water or a saline solution and avoid any harsh chemicals or soaps. Be gentle to ensure you don't cause further irritation.

Keep a close eye on her for any changes, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, or if she starts rubbing her eye more frequently. If these symptoms persist for more than a couple of days or worsen, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian. They can perform a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause and provide the appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
