I Have a 5 month old Australian Shepard. Her eyes have been watery. Upon close inspection I see that the cornea on each eye has a cloudy ring with a clear circle in the middle. The circle is lower than the pupil

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.
