Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Kimchi. The eye infection will need to be checked out by a vet today. Leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. As for the Benadryl, this may make her quite sleepy, but get her checked out by a vet for it as well to be safe. Best of luck.
