She may have an ulcer or scratch in her cornea. These can be painful and cause the discharge and inabukity to open the eye. The sooner her eye gets checked by a vet and started in antibiotics and pain medicine, the faster she will heal and keep full vision

Poor Aubrey! Her eyes looks quite swollen, and I see pus coming out of them. It looks like she could have a severe eye infection, and I would consider this an emergency. She needs veterinary care now so her eyes can be examined and treated. Leaving this untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
