Pictures might help but is it possible the enclosure is dusty? Dry substrates may produce dust that could irritate eyes and nose mucosal membranes leading to the discharge you are seeing.

ps i clean my enclosure

I would get some antibiotic eye ointment. It won't hurt, and just might help.

Be sure you are keeping her well hydrated.

In the UIS, they sell Terramycin Antibiotic ointment. Make sure it is Opthalmic ointment. You should be able to get it from feed store, pharmacy, veterinarians.

I second the Terramycin Opthalmic ointment. It's always good to have a tube on hand just in case
