Junior Guinea Pig
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 Saturday night and it's now Sunday night ringing the vets in the morning, and it hasn't got any worse.
I just want to know if anyone has experienced this before in their guinea pig, or seen something like this I'm so worried Henry is my little baby he just turned 1 this week.
Once I noticed it straight away I had a closer look with a light to see if I could see any hay and moved his eyelid up and nothing. It is all red and swollen looking. I just hope he will be okay and it will only need antibiotics, and anti inflammatory to take down the swelling.
I have attached a picture on what it looks like he is going to the vets tomorrow, but I thought I would come to this site too for some information or reassurance lol I'm so worried, anxiety doesn't make it any easier.
Last night when I noticed it (Saturday night so I could not ring the vet in the morning can only get them on Monday) I made up a mild lukewarm salt solution to clean it incase it is a hay poke and to help any infection that is there to stop it getting any worse.
Feedback would be much appreciated! (And to calm my anxious worries)
Thanks all
