Does anybody else’s piggie have a watery eye?

With Bruno I noticed he’s always had a bit of a watery eye, it’s the same eye he got haypoke in the one time and the same eye he has conjunctivitis in as well. He had a watery eye prior to all of those, and it cleared up a little bit with the eye drops that were for the conjunctivitis but is now back to his like “normal” watery eye? Is this something to worry about or just something that piggies can have? Tried to photograph some pigtures of it.
To add to this the fur under his eye looks different but it’s dry and feels normal, but caused me a bit more worry as well

My Tegan had one in the last years of her life. Nothing wrong with the eye; I had it checked a couple of times at the Cat&Rabbit in Northampton.

Rainbow bridge Clover always had a watery eye after the failed bonding fight that left her with a big ear haematoma on the same side of her face and a bit of a twitchy face sometimes- the vet never found anything wrong with the eye. If the watery liquid is clear and the eye surface smooth and undamaged and the eye not squinty or protruding, it is probably fine if the vet has no concerns x

His eye is healthy otherwise so I think I just have a watery eyed piggie then thank you for your responses! I think he’s sick of me looking at it but we can’t help but worry, the liquid is clear and nothing else that stands out so I think we’re good x

My Mavis has a constant watery eye, it was checked by the vet and she has a blocked tear duct. This is something they cannot treat. I was just told to keep it clean. However, her friend Peggy does this for her, sometimes its a whole face licking and she really is not impressed (i think its the piggy equivalent of your mum spitting on a hanky and wiping your face with it).

Boris has a regular watery eye. Used to worry the life out of me at first but it’s been checked many times and is just part of who he is.

Awww bless her! Really cute that her piggie friend keeps it clean for her even if she isn’t impressed with it

I think I’m now accepting it’s just a part of who Bruno is as well now, really glad I can ask other piggie mums else I’d be going out of my mind with worry

When he first came to me I kept thinking he had a hay poke or a URI but nearly 3 years on he is still the same. It’s always worth asking on here.
