Yes definitely take Binx into the vet. It sounds like she may have an upper respiratory infection and the eye discharge indicates an eye infection. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take her into the vet first thing in the morning.
