eye discharge

Hello, my guinea pig has had a small red lump at the bottom of her eye ever since I can remember, very small and looked like a small bit of skin poking up a little, but the past two days it's really bulging up and looks strange like an extra mass of tissue. She's got a vet appointment tomorrow...

Hello everybody! I'm worried about our 2.5 year old boar Manteli. We have had him and his brother for almost a year. Yesterday night he became very different from his usual self, it was like he was scared and suspicious of everything in sight. He is a shy boy in general but this was different...

Hello all. I have a group of 3 female guinea pigs in a 3x5 (panels) C&C cage that I have had for around 5 months now. I have two abyssinian ones and a skinny pig. Unfortunately the skinny pig with the least amount of hair has always been the most submissive. I noticed a large white scab on her...

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...

Noticed this morning my piggie has white discharge around her eye. Her nose and other eye are totally clear and her breathing is normal for her (she’s nearly 8 and has had some lung issues in the past that means her lungs aren’t 100% perfect) She’s eating/drinking/pooping completely normally but...

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...

Hi y’all! I really appreciate the work all you do, this forum has been so helpful since I got piggies! I need some advice, I will likely end up taking her to the vet but I’m not sure what to do in the meantime since I can’t really afford an emergency visit. She was born 1/08/22 as a part of an...

Hi Everyone, one of my little piggies has had wet near the front of his eye, which ends up being crusty. I have referred to a very good book that I have by a very well known GP enthusiast and it looks like this could be a blocked tear duct. Optrex human eye wash is noted to use, but as the book...

So recently we went on holiday and switched from fleece to hay bedding for a week so the person taking care of the guinea pigs didn’t have to spot clean. But ever since we’ve got back we’ve noticed that one of our guinea pigs eye is watering excessively and sometimes squinting. We have tried...

Hi guys, I have booked a vet appointment for later today but I wanted to check if anyone had experienced what I have and what the outcome/diagnosis was. I noticed the other day that my guinea pig, Chunk, had lost a bit of weight but he was still acting like himself and eating his veggies and...

Hi there! I recently got my first guinea pig two days ago and recently I’ve notice her eye is squinted and basically half closed and she’s producing like a liquidy discharge from it. Yesterday she had a big greenish crust ball on her eye that I wiped off. I don’t know if I’m just overreacting or...

Hello All :) I’m hoping someone may be able to help me a little with one of my male Guinea pigs. I have noticed one of his eyes has become very weepy over the last week or so but seemed tocome and go with no other problems. Today however I’ve noticed that it’s become a lot worse and the...

Hi. My little pig Amelia has been suffering from some sort of lung problem for months now, and it just isn't getting any better. She went to the emergency vet as soon as we noticed something but were told she was fine and given a 1 week precautionary course of Baytril, which didn't help...

Today I noticed my hairless guinea pig had some white discharge in one of his eyes and I’ve never seen that before. I googled it and have read about how white discharge is natural for cleaning, but I’m still a little concerned. I watched him clean himself and more discharge came out of his eye...

Hi everyone, My guinea pig Remy had to go to the vet last week because he had a piece of apple wedged in his mouth. The vet was able to remove it no problem but did put him on Baytril for two weeks seeing as he was worried the friction caused by the apple could lead to an infection. Anyways...
