Seems like after we get one issue cleared up another rises with Gizmo. He has something going on with his eye, like he can't open it all the way and there's discharge sometimes. I've been putting some eye ointment on it but it doesn't seem to be working.

Hi

It sounds like either a hay poke or something stuck under his lid. Any greyish goo oozing out is infectious ulceration. Please have him vet checked. Eye injuries can deteriorate very quickly; the sooner they are seen, the quicker and easier they heal without complications. Your piggy is currently in quite a lot of pain and discomfort, so please ask your vet for a painkiller as well as the antibiotic eye drops.

Wishing you all the best.
