I rescued 2 skinny pigs for my Boyfriend and we had a lot of work to do on them, but they are now very happy and comfortable for the most part. They are brothers, 2.5 years old, appears healthy otherwise except one thing. We all know Guinea Pigs secrete a type of "shampoo" out of their eyes that they use to wash themselves. One of the pigs "shampoo" frequently will stay there and crust over. The eye will be winced occasionally because of the crust. It does not look infected at the moment. He was checked by a vet before and was on antibiotics, but it didn't really do anything. Is this just a duct issue? Right now I just advised my Boyfriend to run a lukewarm Q-tip gently over the eye to cleanse it of the crust. I'd love some opinions on the matter, thank you so much.
