Judging from the photo, it is difficult to say for sure but I am concerned that this is a corneal ulcer. I would have this looked at by a veterinarian as soon as you can so that it does not worsen and so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
