I think you are all right, this has to be looked at. Her face does look swollen on that side and the eye's rusty colour is all swirly and strange. Something is going on. So, my plan is to write them and email and I'm going to include some of the things you guys have mentioned and tell them that I asked quite a few people. Hopefully the number of people that seem alarmed other than just me will be enough to motivate them to take her in.
They thought her eye was just changing colour and that it may not mean anything but they did ask me about it and ask me to take some pics to see what I could find out so I think a part of them is a bit worried.
They're really good people and they love her. They've had some bad vet experiences in the past and are somewhat wary of vets and the enormous bills they tend to end up with. They're also now living in a remote place and living in a 5th wheel while their house is being built so they're trying to really conserve funds. But, they do love her and I think they will take her in. I certainly won't give up on it and will definitely keep you guys updated.
In the meantime, thankfully, Mandy seems very content and has 5 acres that she patrols and seems quite happy. But if she is in pain, it has to be dealt with and as some of you mentioned, could explain the aggressiveness.
The important thing is to make sure she will be able to continue to have a good life and to get this checked out before it's too late.
Here are a few more pics that show her eye in a few different angles:
p.s. I shrank the pictures on photobucket but they are still huge. I don't know why?!?
