I came home from work last night (10 pm) to find Maya sitting in her box. Her right eye lids were pink and swollen, with white gunk all around them. She was feeling very sorry for herself. I expect that she got poked by a bit of hay when eating from the hay rack. I examined the eye as best I could, but could see no injury or foreign object. I bathed the eye with very cold water to reduce the swelling. I bathed it again before going to bed and pulled out a small piece of hay. This morning, it is looking a lot better, and she is opening the eye a bit wider. She is feeling better in herself, too, as I saw her do a short run around the floor. She is still eating and drinking as normal. I will continue to bathe the eye in cold water, and might take her to the Vet tomorrow if it still looks a bit pink.
The exact same thing happened to Bonnie some months ago. She got a bit if hay in her eye and had been scratching it and made it sore. She was fine once the bit of hay had been removed.
P.S. The opaque-ness in picture 2 is due to camera flash.
