she was just seen a few days ago because she has a c section to have one of her babies

Yeah but she probably wasn't having this problem while she was at the vet

thank you for your help I will have to call vet tomorrow

Keep us updated

Also tell the vet the baby has crusty eyes. Your mama needs medicine. That looks like thrush infection. Maybe you can email that same picture to the vet and avoid having to transport her in again so soon. But vet will tell you.
