(sorry if you can’t see the picture well)
 
It’s good you’re getting her to the vet. Eyes are classed as an emergency and since treatment is the same for all animals, you can get her seen by a general vet.

thanks for the reply, do you think monday will be ok to call the vet?
 
I would try any vet tomorrow. It may be minor but as said, eyes are classed as an emergency.
 
Well spotted and hopefully you can see a vet quickly.
Eyes can often be easily treated if the problem isn’t a serious one.
Hope everything is ok
Keep us posted
 
UPDATE: we rang the vets and they said to wait if the redness disappears by itself and it has. just going to keep an eye on her to see if the blinking carries on :)
