Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to see that Pebbles is having a problem. Eye problems are always emergency problems and should be seen immediately since the eyes are very important sense organs and eyes can deteriorate very quickly sometimes completely blinding the pet. I would take her right now to your vet or an emergency vet so they can assess the eye, stain the cornea, measure tear production and pressure inside the eye (if needed). Once diagnosed, they can advise eye drops, ointments, pain meds, etc to help the cornea heal. The cornea does look damaged from some type of injury or infection. These are very painful also so she needs immediate attention. Good luck with Pebbles.
