eye problems

Hello I am attaching a photo. This small fleshy growth has appeared, in the corner of her left eye, at sole point in the last 2 days. I have photos of her, at lap time, the days before that and there is no sign of it. She is booked in to see the vet. I appreciate it’s only small but eyes aren’t...

Went in this morning to feed my pigs and I noticed my sow has something wrong with her eye. The bottom eyelid is a bit droopy and the eyelid itself is a bit red. Was just wondering what this could be and if it's something that can be dealt with at home? her other eye Is completely fine. She was...

I have had my little guy to the vet who supposedly works with small animals because his lower eyelid developed a crusty look. They gave him medication for conjunctivitis and said that if that doesn't fix it he made need surgery. It doesn't seem to bother him and after 6 weeks of eye meds,it has...

Hey! So I got my second guinea pig a couple of months ago, and her eyes are very wide.... idk how else to describe them. You can see the white in her eyes and where she's looking. It's adorable. I noticed that her eyes always seem to be a little moist. Like, the area around them too. I didn't...

Hiya I'm new to the forum and how it works and stuff but I really need some reassurance about my piggie Henry. I noticed he had something wrong with his eye it looks like fatty eye? Pea eye? I don't think it's a hay poke or else he would be squinting an it would have gotten worse. I noticed this...

Hi and thank you for clicking on my thread, Well firstly I’d briefly like to say I used this forum obsessively when I first got my piggies 6 and a half years ago and was such a great help to me learning - and I am back with a plea for advice. I’m left with my final piggie now, who is 7 in a...

Hi everyone! I know that compared to the everyone else here, my eye troubles with Cuddles must seem like nothing, but for Cuddles and I, it was serious. This was especially the case last week when the (very) expensive eye drops I'd previously used were unavailable in my city. Unsure of what...

I have two guinea pigs. They have been treated for a URI a couple weeks ago since they were sneezing and one had a crusty eye. I went on holidays and after 15 days I saw them and they seemed to be doing great, their fur was amazingly soft and they had grown a bit more (they're 4 and 6 months...

My pig, Harry, has something wrong with his eye. I've done so much research and I cant seem to ifnd out what is wrong. I dont have enough money to take him to the vet until Friday but i dont think he will last that long. His eye is pertruding out of his skull, its red, swollen, and watery. My...

hello all, So we have a new pal named Nugget. He is a American Short hair piggy! We have had him for about a week now and two days ago we noticed his right eye was sunk in with crust keeping it closed. I have been cleaning it with saline and gause pads. This morning it was not closed due to...

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...

Hello, My Guinea pig had an ulcer on this eye a couple of months ago. The eye completely cleared with antibiotics. She now has a small lump in the corner of her eye and on the lower lip of her eye. She is eating and drinking etc normally so I don't think it's causing her any discomfort. Is it...

Sooo about a month ago my little Taro was adopted and introduced to yuki who was adopted the day before. Both males establishing dominance was to be expected. They are about 2-3 months old from my predictions. Anyway about a week later my wife and I noticed little Taro had a mini scratch on...
