eye

Hey, My pig has had this lump for a while now in her eye. We never thought anything of it since she didn’t seem distressed and my family was telling me I was being paranoid and looking for stuff to be wrong with her. I took her to the vets for an appointment about a UTI and he had a look and...

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...

Hey everyone! Today I noticed my guinea pig Neji had a small bump in the inner corner of his eye. If someone could please tell me if you have seen this and know what it is I would really appreciate it. I have attached a photo below.

Hi all, I came home from work today to notice my senior pig has a very cloudy/red and sore looking eye. It is not bleeding but is red around the edges. I’m a fairly experienced owner and have had him since he was a baby but have never seen anything like this with him. I'm thinking hay poke/ 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...

My guinea pig has a reddish inflammation on the bottom of her eye. She appeared to have a hair on her eye when I noticed it . She does not seem seem to be in pain. Does anyone know what this might be ?

So earlier today we noticed Blueberry's eye looked a bit funny and throughout the day it got progressively worse. I just went to check on him and it's all red and he seems to struggle with keeping it open. I've checked multiple times and there doesn't seem to be anything in it. He has a dodgy...

Hey everyone...So, my piggie got a little too close to his hay I think. Very slight irritation in the eye. I have not done anything to his eye, just gonna say that right now. I bought some eye drops and the active ingredient is Tetrahydrozoline HCI 0.05% and the inactive ingredients are...

This pig was attacked by her sister and bit around her eye. Does anyone have any medical advice? Does it look serious enough to take her to the vet? Is there anything we could do to prevent an infection? Please help! (Note: the wound did seem to scab although she is itching at it and she does...

I came downstairs to check on my guinea pigs and I saw one of them had a cloudy eye with red around the edges, I took her out and checked for any hay but I couldn’t find any and wiped her eye just incase.None of the other guinea pigs have any eye problems. I cant book a vet appointment until the...

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...

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...

Hi! I just bathed my piggies for the first time and I think I got a little soap in one of their eyes by accident! She keeps blinking her one eye a lot. Will she wash it out herself? I feel so bad it must sting 😔

I have a 2 year old guinea pig. I took her to the vet a couple weeks ago because her right eye was bulging (I’ll attach a picture) the vet had a look and says it looks like she has poked her left eye with hay causing an ulcer. The vet said that because Rosie is in pain with her left eye, it’s...

Hi! I’ve just spotted this on one of the guinea pigs. I’ve got a vet appointment booked for Monday, but just wondering if any one has any clue what it is. Is it a fungal infection? I can’t tell if it’s on the skin of the eyelid or just crustiness but the lid is also a little swollen. With the...

Hi all, I believe my Guinea pig Jasper has cherry eye (please see photo) he appears as normal eating and his happy self. I have cleaned his eye with sterile water and he appears ok. my question is really is there any drops I can get from my chemist for him over this weekend to help treat this...

He eats perfectly fine and acts like a normal piggy. He’s about 4 years old, maybe a couple months younger. I only started to notice this once I zoomed in on this picture. I’m worried:( Please let me know

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...

I have a 5 year old piggy and recently noticed a white film covering the bottom part of her eye, it doesn’t seem to be affecting her as she still eats/drinks/plays so I’m hoping it’s just a cataract. Do you think it could be anything worse though? Normally I’d just go straight to the vets but...
