Your puppy should see a veterinarian right away. It appears that she has an eye infection and without seeing it in person, it is impossible to evaluate the condition of the cornea or surface of the eye. It is always best to have eye problems diagnosed and treated within the first 24 hours of symptoms to make sure the problem does not progress. Your pup will at least require some prescription eye medication and possibly other mess depending on the severity of the problem.
