Thank you for all of the suggestions. Molly's eye seems to be doing better today. There is still a little gunk, but her eye is open all the way now. When I called daycare to check up on her around noon they said she still had some mucus on her eye and some gunk in the corner, but when I got home tonight her eye was clear, just some crusties in the corner. Those were still a greenish yellow. The daycare lady said she doesn't think it was conjunctivitis, otherwise she would not let Molly back this week. She thinks maybe she had a scratch in her eye or she is getting allergies.
I am going to watch her closely and if she still has gunk tomorrow I will bring her to the vet as a walk in. Otherwise, I will probably go to petco and see what they have for eye cleaner.
Some of you suggested saline solution. Would my husbands contact fluid (saline solution) work, or do I need to by something special?

Please make sure if you are touching Molly, esp. her eyes, you wash your hands in case it is bacterial. Pink eye can be contagious.

Thank you for the tip, I have been careful when I clean her eyes and have been more careful about washing my hands if I touch her face.
Thank you again for your feedback,
Jess
