You can try bathing eye in a mild saline solution. Even if it does not help it will not hurt. It could be something more serious and possibly infectious though and it would be a good idea to isolate her as a precaution. Look up mycoplasma and see if the symptoms match. You should also be able to find some pictures as well. Hope you get it sorted :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

get her to a vet as she may need a topical ointment. In the meantime you can bathe her eye with cooled boiled water and use a fresh swab for each eye so that you dont spread the infection.
Staffies are softer than you think.
