My dog has got the swollen eyes since 2 days. He has become so aggressive and doesn't have much appetite. Her eyes have swollen a lot and has pinkness around it than it normally had. Extreme amount of mucus has been released whereas he has started to open his eyes really in a less amount

Poor Jenny! It sounds like her eyes are really bothering her, and that would cause her to lose her appetite and a change in temperament. It could be that she is suffering from a severe eye infection. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any eye problem is considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take Jenny into a vet now to have her eyes examined, diagnosed, and treated.
