That isn't for eyes. You need to get the eye specific one.

I would use saline solution to rinse her eye out.

Definitely rinse well with saline to wash any junk from it..pat dry and use terramycin or neosporin (the original kind with out pain relief) it will sooth and hea they eye. Keep the area clean and dry

Good to hear.
My goats had something similar, I used vetrcyn for the eyes on them and it worked really well after a couple days.

This was a number of years ago so if this is no longer recommended please excuse me and correct me.
I had a doe with infected eyes. We had used antibiotic ointment but she was still blind. I was told to put LA200 directly into her eyes.
I did and she made a full recovery.

I agree with above … the LA200 is fabulous or penicillin dropped in the eye.

Just plain penicillin? That might work better.
We had something similar! Vet said clean it out with the eye saline solution, and do terramycin at least four times a day, more than an hour apart dosage wise but you can do more. Improvement should occur within 4 days. Good luck!
It is looking much better still a little cloudy but is clearing up slowly but surely.
