I have noticed today Pancake has 2 small cloudy dots on each eye....can anyone help?
 
It may be the start of cataracts given both eyes are affected but your vet will be able to diagnose. :)
 
Yeah, it does sound like cataracts. You should bring Pancake to the vet to confirm this. Nothing can be done about cataracts, but if they appeared quickly it could be a sign of diabetes. Some will get cataracts with age though. How old is your piggy?
 
My 3 year old male piggy has got one eye thats completly white took him to the vets & they gave him drops that didn't work...then decided they wanted to remove his eye. I refused to let him go through what i thought was an unneccessary op...hes probably blind but it doesn't stop him eating..trundling around & chasing after his sister. He does have to sniff around looking for the food bowl but i try to put it in the same place.
 
It could be cateracts, or it could be ulcers - best to get it checked out by a vet
 
Pancake is about 3....she seems ok - a little quiet but still eating and drinking and enjoys being outside!
i suspected cataracts so will pop along to the vets!
 
My Woog was about 3 and a half when she got a cataract. The cataracts don't really seem to affect them

Good luck at the vet xx>>>xx>>>
