eye infection

Hi all, I’m new here, today, after finding this forum looking on the internet for possible identification of some nasty eye infection and possibly related boil behind my Guinea Pig’s ear. I know he needs to see a vet and we’ve booked an appointment but we can’t get in until Friday. (The one...

Hi Everyone, We came home this morning from one night away to find our 7 year guinea pig has a completely cloudy eye! It must have developed really quickly as we were only away about 12 hours. Anyway, my husband took her to the vet within the hour. They put the dye in, but couldn’t see any hay...

Hi. Think we'll be taking our pig back to the vets tomorrow but wondering what might be going on here.... 1 month ago she got a ulcer on her eye, green/yellow discharge. The vet looked at it with magnifying glass and lights, couldn't see anything in it and gave us Isathal. Treated it and ulcer...

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...

My guinea pig is 4 years old. I got him and his brother from PetSmart and his brother had always walked in circles and never made noise. Eventually he ended up passing under a year old. I still have his brother and for the last few years he has started to decline. He has slowly developed head...

Hey, one of my guinea pig's eyes looks sunken in and being pushed in by the eyelids. I'm not sure what to do but I've ordered some antibacterial eye ointment and saline for her. I thought it was hay poke at first but it didn't look like it. Any tips or advice? I'm extremely worried for her.

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...

My little buddy's eye seemed crusty and was secreting a white fluid so I took him to the vet and they gave me some eye drops that were supposed to help, but it's been two weeks and there hasn't been improvement. I was hoping someone could help me maybe recognize what he has and suggest some...

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! Last night I noticed my one year old female guinea was the slightest bit swollen and teary in one eye. Checked again in the morning and it was definitely a little more swollen but I wasn’t sure if it was serious or something that may pass. The vet I use is obviously operating differently...

Hi, I have a four year old male piggy who until now has lived a happy healthy life. This morning I realized there was a red lump on the inner corner of his eye with some white discharge around it. He seems to be eating and drinking fine. What could this red lump be from? He does not have his...

Hello, I have a four year old male guinea pig named Arnold. He’s been in pretty good health and care all his life but this morning I noticed he had a red lump with some white discharge around his inner eye corner. Any idea what this could be from? He lives alone in his cage so no worry of a cage...

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?

Hi all! I have four lil piggies houses in a fleece-bedded C&C enclosure me and my hubby put together. I have one piggy, Addy, who I’ve just noticed has her left eye skin protruding a bit. There was the slightest bit of crusties on the opposite corner, and her other eye is just a bit watery...

Hi all! My oldest Guinea pig Harri has conjunctivitis (I'm a pharmacist and I put 2 and 2 together) took her to the vet who, didnt seem to care too much about it till I insisted that it looks like conjunctivitis and he gave me Isathal(fusidic acid drops twice a day). Been putting it in her eye...

Hi, I noticed a few weeks back that my piggy Nymeria had a watery right eye, she tends to have that some times so I didn't really worry too much though I'd still check to see if she had a URI or something like that every day. Today I picked her up and the skin around her eye had lost a bit of...

Hello! I have a longhaired piggy named Atticus, he is about 5 years old. He has developed a strange patch right in between his eye and his nose (it seems almost attached to the veeeery end of his eye) at first he was just scratching at it but now there is pus coming out of it. My other pig...

Good afternoon everyone, Yesterday and this morning I took my 4 year old guinea pig, Luna, to the vet because her right eye is so swollen and red and it looks so much bigger than the left one, both vets said she'll probably have to have her eye removed. This morning they took some X-rays and...
