It looks as Sarais suffering from an eye infection, it is relatively common in dogs. you will need to take her to the vet the first chance you get, the vet will check the eyes, if it is indeed a simple eye infection your vet will prescribe an antibiotic eye drops that will probably solve the problem in no time.

    I can't really see your dog's eyes in the picture, but if you believe Ruby is suffering from an eye infection you will need to take her to the vet in order to have the eyes checked and she will be prescribed antibiotic eye drops.
