dogs eye

my dogs left eye looks like something may have poked it...the white part of her eye is very red. she cant open it all the way due to what looks like some swelling. there is also some kind of dis-charge comming out of the corner of her eye she does not seem to be in pain...should we take her to the vet now...or wait to see if goes away on its own

No, do not wait.  Eye problems do not normally go away without vet care. - Blu

Well, it is Sunday.  If there is no improvement, I would have it checked for infection and to make sure there is no foreign body or a scratched cornea.
