eye health

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 I am attaching a photo. This small fleshy growth has appeared, in the corner of her left eye, at sole point in the last 2 days. I have photos of her, at lap time, the days before that and there is no sign of it. She is booked in to see the vet. I appreciate it’s only small but eyes aren’t...

Hi everyone. I’m a new piggy owner and it’s my first post. I’ve had my two little piggies — Ginger and Snap — for about 2 weeks now. They’re both boys and I got them from a Pets at Home store when they were 11 weeks old. On day 2, I woke up and Ginger’s eye was suddenly red around the outside...

My Thor has had a serious looking eye injury... Possible having a disagreement with his roomie Loki. I have cleaned it somewhat but it's very swollen, bloodshot and has a white cloudiness to the lens? His bottom eye lid looks torn too! Does anyone have a contact for a good guinea pig vet.... I...

I recently got Guinea pigs about 2 weeks ago. One seems perfectly healthy and the other seemed healthy for the most part when we first got her. We noticed one of her ears had no fur but her other ear did. Her ear was super red but it’s calmed down a lot since we’ve had her (one of her ears still...

My boar had orchard grass hay in his right eye and my vet two days ago, in the USA, prescribed Neomycin Bacitracin gel twice daily. I used it in the past when his tear duct inflamed. His eye is looking so much better. I saw suggested to keep his eye moistened with some 'plain tear...

Hey everyone! My girl Penelope came up with this pink lump on the inner corner of her eye on Thursday, it came up overnight! We went to the vets yesterday, he thought it may be similar to cherry eye in dogs? He has prescribed her maxitrol ointment 4 times a day for 7-10 days to see if it brings...

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...

My guineapig Moo ( neutered male 2yrs Old) seems to have an issue with his left eye. We think it may be an injury such as hay poking but we are not sure. we have only noticed this yesterday evening. Other days he was fine we are sure. (I have attached images at the end of this post) His eye is...

My friend’s guinea pig Dusty, 5 years old, his eye has suddenly become really swollen/bulging (see the picture attached) overnight, it wasn’t like this yesterday. He is still eating and acting normally but it looks terrible, they have an appointment booked for today but the vets aren’t...

Hi, my 4 year old guinea pig Trixie has got a red lump on one eye? I just noticed it and it wasn’t there 3 days ago when I last checked her eyes. I have attached a picture. I think I need to contact the vet, I’m wondering if anyone has any idea what this is exactly. Should I attempt to clean it...

So my one guinea pig will not open his one eye. I'm not sure what could've happened. He is also squeaking quite a bit. Does anyone know anything that could be wrong or have any advice for me? (He is 4 months old btw)

Hi all I have 2 boy guineapigs, both around 8 months old now. They moved into their new cage setup downstairs last week so I could make their enclosure bigger, I have noticed since then one of my piggies moo, has started to loose some hair around the front of one of his eyes, his other is fine...

Hiya, This morning I discovered that my Guinea Patsy has a discoloured eye with pink fleshy surrounding. Can somebody advise me what this is?

Does anyone know what this could be? It only appears on Jasmine's right eye. I took her and Pickle to the vet yesterday about excessive scratching caused by mites (which are now gone, thankfully) and now this has appeared out of nowhere. Her eye is otherwise normal (if a little bit red in the...

I'm not sure if this is bad but Mr Cream's right eye keeps getting watery and then it dries around his eye. I do clean it when it gets dry and sometimes while its watery. I hope this isnt a sign of URI or eye infection. (The yellow streak is just his fur btw)

So, my Guinea pig, who is a little over a year old, had gotten a bad eye infection, and while she got better and her eye went back to a normal size, she's blind in that eye, and recently I was looking at it with a light and noticed this, these are my first set of Guinea pigs, so I haven't had...

Hiya I'm new to the forum and how it works and stuff but I really need some reassurance about my piggie Henry. I noticed he had something wrong with his eye it looks like fatty eye? Pea eye? I don't think it's a hay poke or else he would be squinting an it would have gotten worse. I noticed this...

Hi everyone, my guinea pig Layla seems to have some eye crust! It's dried whiteish-yellow crust. I just introduced her to my other guinea pig, Cookie, and noticed that Layla had a few sneezes, (around 10 in 1-2 hours). She seems to be eating and drinking properly, but I'm afraid she might have a...

I've had my guinea pigs for awhile now, none of them have been sick and my guinea pig Patchy has had this small eye and big eye for awhile now. Were thinking she is blind (or will become blind) in that eye. She has never shown signs of sickness, in fact she is very curious and loves eating. So...
