It is very hard to say what is going on as the eyelids are closed and very swollen. The skin scabs could be self-inflicted wounds from scratching. I suspect Zelda may have bad eye infection, corneal ulcer or allergic reaction to the eyes that got worse because she was scratching the eye. It could be a skin parasite called Demodex - it often shows up in puppies as sores around the eyes. Your vet may want to examine skin scrapes under microscope to check for Demodex tomorrow. For this evening you should clean the eyes with wet cotton buds and make sure Zelda is not trying to scratch the eyes.
