Drainage from the nostril and eye is most likely a sinus infection. Are you still going to take her to the vet? The vet will be able to give you safe, oral antibiotics. While you have her there, have them check her poop for coccidia and worm eggs.

Yes, I plan to have her there around opening hour @ 8am. I would have to agree with you on the sinus infection and yes I will be asking for the fecal float. Take opportunities when you can I say!
Thanks @castportpony!
Don't count on her pooping at the vets office, she probably will or have some in the carrier, but I would make sure to take a fresh sample from the cage you keep her in just to be sure you have a good test sample. Have the vet show you the inside of the throat so you will know what to look for in the future, and take note when she gives an injection so you will have a good idea how to do it yourself. Don't be shy asking questions, it's your dime they are earning. The fecal float is a really good idea! Let's hope they don't find anything.
It's too bad your vet gave you a hard timeI am leaving shortly to get her. I'm anxious to see her. Funny how nervous I've been about how she's being treated! Don't get me wrong it was very cute and clean little place. . Nice people. However the vet did offend me a bit when I requested we hold on testing due to financial reasons. .she stated that I just needed to decide my priorities. .hmmm..well. .I care..I can afford some treatment but I also need to make sure my family eats this week. Made me feel bad.
