Answer
I sounds ass if she has conjunctivitis, an irritation of the eye which could be due to a virus or also physical trauma such as getting something in her eye.  This is usually associated with at least a bit of pain, thus leading to her closing the eye somewhat or entirely.

It would be a decent idea to have her seen by your veterinarian so they can check her cornea for injury and prescribe antibiotics if indicated.

Best of luck with your canine companion.
