This could be a corneal ulcer, a sign of inflammation of the anterior chamber of the eye, a mass or a bacterial or fungal infection. Eye conditions are always very concerning and I strongly recommend you take Liz to your veterinarian on Monday for an eye exam. Should she start squinting or get a discharge from the eye, she needs to see a veterinarian right away.
