I trimmed this darling silkies behind today if some poop and while washing her up just noticed her eye...didn’t see before with her hair.

Never mind neosporin and she’s slowly opening .

It looks from the picture like the nictitating membrane (“third eyelid”) is closed over her eye.
She may have scratched her eye or gotten dirt in it.
Try gently cleaning and moistening the eye area with an antiseptic ophthalmic solution, or sterile saline, using gauze or cotton swabs.
If you can get to your local feed store, get Vetericyn eye gel to keep eye moist. It should heal.

I think you are exactly right I ended up putting some neosporin on and she gently opened. So weird never saw that before and thank you for feedback.
