The whites of her eyes are red/bloodshot. Is it serious or just an irritant, do you think?

She might have gotten something in her eye that could have irritated her. The gunk around her eyes are her body trying to get rid of the irritant. She also might have an eye infection. Try dabbing a little water on her eyes to clean it off gently and see if that works. Otherwise, if you see that it worsens or doesn't improve, call your vet to make sure it's nothing serious!

The dog could have something in her eye that is causing the squinting and twitching. Try washing the eyes with eye wash it could be something as simple as an eyelash or dirt. The gunk could be caused by the irritant if this has been going on for a while please take the dog to the vet before the situation gets worse.

It's caused by in-breeding pure-breed dogs. There are medications you can add to your dog's diet, but I don't recommend doing that. Instead, help your pet have better vision by keep them clean (bathing them every other day, especially if they go outside a lot), fur out of their eyes (cut the hair closely and don't let any hairs irritate their eyes), and clean the 'gunk' out every time you see it.
It's best to remove the gunk with your hands. Be extra cautious if you're trying to use toilet paper because you don't want to scratch their eyeball; it's harder to use anything other than your own hands.

It sounds like conjunctivitis. You need to take her to the vet and the will give you medicated eyedrops to give her 3 times a day until the bottle is empty.
You need to take her to the vet though because that will only get worse and won't heal on it's own.
Also, clean the eye discharge with a warm washcloth/paper towel.

I would strongly recommend that you take your dog to be properly diagnosed and treated by her veterinarian. The eyes are very sensitive and will not get better on their own.
