eye problem

20230826-003401 hosted at ImgBB 20230826-003423 hosted at ImgBB So I noticed tonight while giving Gizmo a little health check he has a spot in his eye. It seems to be inside in the pupil area it doesn't look like it's on the surface. It wasn't there a few days ago last time I gave him a check...

Hi! I noticed that his left eye has a gray halo and seems smaller than the right one. Is everything alright with him? :(

I recently noticed that siris left eye is sticking out more than her right one. I researched into it and many sources say it could be a tumour behind her eye? I’ve experienced many other piggy eye problems before but not this. Advice and tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, Sorry I made another post without clarifying I had already visited the vet. I wanted to ask if any of you had success treating the same eye problem (a retrobulbar abscess) with medication? (Antibiotics) I saw one post in here and probably it's the only place I've seen one, where...

Hi Everyone, one of my little piggies has had wet near the front of his eye, which ends up being crusty. I have referred to a very good book that I have by a very well known GP enthusiast and it looks like this could be a blocked tear duct. Optrex human eye wash is noted to use, but as the book...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding one of my guinea pig's eye. She seems totally fine but over the past few months the area between her eyeball and he skin seems to have gotten bigger and now you can see this white area between her eye ball and the fur which is a little strange, it...

Hello, Yesterday evening I have noticed my boar has got something underneath his eye. During the day I was feeding him by hand and there was nothing there so literally few hours later it appeared. Magritte is slightly bigger than an average weight male guinea pig... 100g to be precise... I...

My guinea pig Leo has got a little bit of blood in his eye. He has got cataracts in both eyes. His first one formed in December time and the other eye got one around April this year. He formed the blood in his eye around the time his 2nd cataract arrived. It doesn't seem to bother him and he is...

A couple of weeks ago my guinea pig suffered from a stroke. There was no particular reason or cause it just happened out of nowhere. He is getting older now and he's approaching 3 years old so his age could be the reason. I wasn't there to witness his stroke but there are a few easy symptoms to...

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 my guinea pig is 4 years old and today I discovered she has excessively pooped all over her cage. And her eye is bulging and sticking out of her head, it’s red and looks very sore and i’m very worried about her. I have booked an appointment with the vet however she had some hair loss issues...

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...

Hello! While feeding my pigs last night i noticed that one of them has one eye that is a little goopy. It doesn't seem to bug him at all but i cleaned it up for him. I'm not super concerned and assume it might be due to the weather changes around here. He was a rescue pig and has had a couple...

I was recently chatting to a piggy rescuer who mentioned that rex's can have problems with hair/eye brows growing so they curl into their eyes? I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this, and whether there's a way to prevent it? I've never seen that on my girl so far but she is young.

I have 4 piggies and have not experienced any health problems before. However one of my girls, who is nearly 10 months old, her eye looks cloudy. It looks almost like a blue hue to her normally dark eyes and the inner corner is red. This is only on one eye and she does not seem to be in pain...

one of my guinea pigs was diagnosed with conjunctivitis last week so I've been giving him eye drops 2-3 times a day, but now the other one is starting to show symptoms e.g. Half closing eye, a little residue in corner. Should I be worried or is this a common problem. He doesn't seem as bad as...

I got a new baby pig last week. I noticed when I got her home that her left eye was weeping some goo (not the normal kind they secreat for cleaning themselves) and I thought she may have gotten some sawdust in it in the pet shop. It's been a week and it's still seeping. I clean it with some...

I just had Beans out for cuddles there and I noticed her left eye looked cloudy, almost like there was some kind of film covering it.. With a slightly blue tinge?.. It doesn't seem to be watering or anything at the moment, just looks like a film over it, as if she's got a contact lense in if...

Hello guinea pig forum, recently, about a week ago, I noticed that one of my pig's eyes is having an issue. Her left eyelid seems to be a little low on her lower eye, like there is a bit of red showing underneath, and I warned to know if I need to take her to the vet or not, or if its not...

Hi I'm new to the forum but I've owned guinea pigs for a really long time but in this last week I ran into a problem with my pig Eloise where she developed an eye infection and I'm in need of advice! First off, Eloise is an extremely old guinea pig and is 7 years old and has never had any...
