eye

My guinea pig is around 5 and a half years old. He’s had calcium deposits (the white ring around his eye) + what I think is a cataract in one of his eyes for a while but today I noticed what looks to be internal bleeding as well. The eye isn’t swollen or bulging and it seems to have appeared...

Hi! I just noticed Eggs has a very glazed eye. He has very obvious hetero-optic bone formation already especially when he rotates his eyes. I immediately thought hay poke because him and my other boy Ollie have had them before but he’s not squinting and it’s his whole eye that’s glazed suddenly...

Hello, I spotted this white growth on one of my girls eye today. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I booked a vet appointment for next week but thought I would ask here for some advice also. Thank you

My guinea pig has this dark/black spot by his eye. The skin has balded around it and become swollen. Could it be a tick or is it more likely to be a scab from him maybe poking himself on some hay? What do you guys think? I'm worried, so I would really appreciate your input. Thank you!

My 6 y/o female two nights ago had a blood shot, cloudy eye. Her eye also seem enlarged? Today it is looking a bit better, her doc recommended a warm compress and wiping her eye occasionally. She sees a vet on Monday. Other than that, she seems to have done some barbering near her one leg/part...

Hi All, I am the proud dad of 4 piggies (3 skinny 1 hair - all same family) and I have had the issue of hay pokes for almost 3 weeks now. I wanted to reach out to some more educated guinea pig caretakers and see if maybe I could get some advice on how to prevent this in the future. One of my...

Hi guys, Long time no see and Happy New Year! I just want to start by saying I have contacted Cat and Rabbit Clinic for an appointment. Waiting to hear back. And my colleagues at my veterinary practice have given me some eye drops to keep it comfortable. Anyway, Stitch my youngest boys is...

Hi everyone, I noticed a white dot in my boy’s right eye. Is it an ulcer?

Hiya, took guinea pig to the emergency vet yesterday after realising one is is bulging and the guinea pig has lost 240 grams over two weeks. the vet said it’s a tumour and the options are either surgery to remove or pts. the eye didn’t push in at all when the vet pushed suggesting there is...

Hello Everyone, My guinea pig has been experiencing white eye discharge that he doesn't seem to clean when it happens and it causes him to shut his eye when it happens. It seems to be making him uncomfortable. I have took him to the vet and everything checked out to be in good health but the...

This is my 4 year old skinny pig Lennon. This morning I noticed the bottom half of his eye is a very bright red, blood colour. He has no other symptoms besides this. Eating tons, running around, not bothered in the slightest. He does have a brother that he lives with (Ono). They get along well...

Hi My guinea pig is around 4 years old and hasn’t had any health issues so far! However today I noticed a white discharge around her eye which I’ve never seen before. I know guinea pigs can secrete white fluid for cleaning but not sure if this is it or not. She’s acting perfectly normal...

I recently noticed that siris left eye is sticking out more than her right one. I researched into it and many sources say it could be a tumour behind her eye? I’ve experienced many other piggy eye problems before but not this. Advice and tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I know very little about guinea pigs so any advice would be appreciated. TL;DR Two day old guinea pig has cloudy (but otherwise normal) eye and I don’t know if he had it yesterday, what do I do? I am watching my neighbors animals for the week, this included 2 guinea pigs, one of which...

Hi everyone, In the last week my guinea pig has been less active than usual, she also ate less pellets. She doesn't eat a lot of hay usually, so it's pretty normal. She keeps eating vegetables but leaves very small pieces. She hasn't lost weight; only 4 grams in this week. Four or five days...

I’ll preface this by saying that we are under the care of an excellent vet, but I wanted to throw this out here to get other people’s experiences. Prawn suffered a severe eye injury in February courtesy of his cage mate. It required stitching the outer layer of his eye and his head back...

Hello everyone, Sorry I made another post without clarifying I had already visited the vet. I wanted to ask if any of you had success treating the same eye problem (a retrobulbar abscess) with medication? (Antibiotics) I saw one post in here and probably it's the only place I've seen one, where...

Hey everyone, my partner's guniea pig is getting some redness around the eye. We love this guniea pig to death but want to avoid the vet if possible due to money problems. She's still acting normal and eating but we're still concerned about her. Is this anything to be alarmed of?

Another thing on the new pigs I brought in yesterday. The younger one (and the bigger one) I noticed her eye is a bit droopy. I looked it up and it said it was normal but I am very worried about her.

Hello everyone, my two guinea pigs have had a fight lately and I saw the youngest one with his eye like this. I'm not sure if its a piece of hay that hurt him or could be stuck there or wether its a cut from one of their fights. Do we need to take him to the vet? answers would be greatly...
