What is this?

Does anyone know what this could be? Should i be worried?

Hi

I would see a vet whether there is an issue with the conjunctiva. This doesn't look quite normal to me. Only a hands-on examination can really tell you whether it is something harmless or needs medication.

I’m assuming your talking about the piggy’s eye? Looks like pea eye to me

It could be the start of pea eye (the falling away from the lower eye lid), but it is not quite clear from the picture to me. Since I have no direct access to the guinea pig to have a closer look, I prefer to recommend to see a vet.

Sry it was very careless for me not to recommend seeing the vet, I wasn’t thinking before I wrote it.

I do see what you're seeing at the eye... it doesn't look inflamed, but could be start of pea eye (which is luckily not harmful.) It's good you're getting it checked, please let us know what they say!

I just have to say that she looks a lot like Tomie! I had to look twice at the picture! LOL!
