Guinea Pigs Eyes Help!

Hi guys well not been on here for a long while. Anyway yesterday I gave my guinea pig a baths because he smelt really bad (sorry Woody)p However I never give them a proper bath just a cm or two in the bath but when I took him out he had white moisture coming out of his eye. I wiped it and it went and it hasn't come back but I curious to what it is and if I should be worried. Thanks in advance!

My daughter panicked when she first saw this too - taken from guinealynx:

Guinea pigs excrete a milky white liquid which lubricates their eyes and is used to help them clean their faces. After the eye fills up with the white fluid, the guinea pig will then take their front paws and make washing motions. This may happen several times per day although you may never even notice.

the milky ocular discharge is a normal fluid which is released from the eye as part of the grooming process.

No its just a liquid they use for washing sometimes you notice it sometimes you don't
