Hallo!
Patches seems to have a constant weepy eye, just on one side. Occasionally you can see a milky fluid, but mostly just damp hair around his left eye. Months ago I took him to the vet and she said it was a calcium deficiny, gave him a jab and recommended I change his food to supa guinea pig, which he refused to eat. She said it should clear up, and he'd be happier eating too. Personally I had never thought that Patches' was in discomfort while he was eating, the way he gobbles down his veggies!
So I've changed him back to his tesco mix, giving him a sprig or two of parsley every day and have specfically been picking vit C water supplement with calcium in it.
Long story short - I was wondering if anything else could be going on in him? He's happy, healthy and alert, but this eye thing is confounding me! He can't be short on calcium, and I dont want to over feed him for obv. reasons with stones and things...
Any advice?
