It sounds like there is a lot going on with BabyGirl at the moment, and some of her signs are extremely serious and require an immediate vet visit. The blood in her eye has to be seen now. She could have suffering trauma to the eye causing it, and it need to be treated right away. Any eye condition should be considered an emergency, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take her into a vet ASAP. While there, the vet can check her out for the neck swelling, which could be due to infection or injury. The blood in feces is likely related to her intestinal parasites, and the vet can prescribe her a deworming treatment for it.
