Not sure about the eye, it could be a sinus infection.

The swollen eye may be MG, ILT, or coryza. Is there any bad smell to her head? Here is some reading about these and other respiratory infections: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps044

Thank u for the link I read all of the suggested diseases in not sure she definitely doesn't have a foul odor and no drainage to speak of but swollen and red around entire area maybe I should try some antibiotics as that was the course of action if any of those diseases anyway do u recommend anything and dose ?

Tylan 50 injection 1 ml for 5 lb and over (1/2 ml for under 5lb) daily into the breast muscle for 3 days. Some people give this orally, but it's best as a shot. Second choice would be Tylan soluble powder or Gallimycin (erythromycin) in the water. Dosage of Tylan Soluble orally is 1 tsp per gallon water for 3-5 days.

Only insert the needle about 1/4 of an inch into the muscle to make sure you aren't in a vein. Alternate sides of the breast daily.
