Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This for sure looks like a very severe infection and warrants a veterinary evaluation as soon as possible. A veterinarian would be able to check what type of infection this is and treat it. She may have underlying allergies causing this. Good luck and have a great day!
