It looks like Pebbles most likely has an ulcer on her cornea. Most of the times these are caused by trauma (being scratched by another animal, bumping the into something, plant material, etc.). These can be serious and get worse very quickly. I would recommend taking her to a veterinarian to have it checked and start treatment right away.

I’m so sorry your puppy has a corneal ulcer! If the ulcer is uncomplicated and heals appropriately, the appareance of the eye often returns to normal. With severe corneal ulceration, there can often be scar tissue associated with the ulcer causing some permanent cloudiness. Just make sure you follow all instructions recommended by your veterinarian for the optimal outcome.

It sound as she is starting to develop a corneal ulcer on both eyes, this is probably due to an infection. It is quite severe as ulcers can cause permanent damage to the eye, you need to take Bella to the vet urgently.

Canine hepatitis virus is an adenovirus that can cause corneal edema due to an immune system reaction in some dogs. This disease is very rare and most dogs are vaccinated since the vaccine is in combination with the distemper and parvovirus vaccines. Corneal edema can also occur secondary to several other eye diseases: glaucoma, anterior uveitis, corneal ulcers or penetrating trauma, or corneal endothelial dystrophy in certain breeds. The treatment is depending on the cause - the treatment for glaucoma is very different from the treatment for a corneal ulcer. I would recommend seeing a veterinarian so they can determine what might be causing the edema - they may want to check Bella's eye pressure and stain her eye to look for ulcers. They can then prescribe the appropriate treatment.
