blindness

Hello, my guinea pig has a cloudy eye and a whitish stain on the pupil. I'm afraid it's a possible cataract. Can anyone tell me what it could be? I went to the vet and she said it could be discharge but I don't think it is because he doesn't have liquid in his eye but small blood marks around...

Hi, I'm wondering if maybe more experienced piggy owners could help me weigh out risks for one of my piggies. I currently share life with 3 senior piggies, however I have one called Butter Ball who has recently had eye issues. We believe he was injured by his now ex-cage mate (they're still...

Today morning I saw my guinea pig had a small piece of hay in his eye and as I tried to get it out but it just seemed to have gone on further into it. When I look at it now there isn't any sign of it so I'm not really sure whether it fell off or not. He's not squinting or anything right now and...
