I strongly recommend a urgent vet check up as her condition appears to have deteriorated with the increasing heart rate, breathing and lump. It is likely xrays will be required to determine the underlying cause which may be a hernia or collapsed lung which can worsen days after an accident. The eye should also be reexamined as if there is damage to the back of the eye it may develop painful and progressive glaucoma (increasing pressure due to bleeding etc) which may require removal
