I just had Guiness out for floor time and noticed that one of his eyes looks like it is slightly bulged out! What could this be? He is eating drinking pooing and peeing just fine.

Could he have hay caught in his eye?
I'm not quite sure what to suggest without possibly some photos of his eye.
@helen105281 might be able to help.

His other eye is normal/ can't see any white... Also he doesn't seem to be able to move that eye around.

Think I would make a vet visit. Get them to check his eye for any foreign bodies under his eyelid. &check his teeth to make sure he hasn't got an abcess brewing. Making the eye bulge with infection behind it, pushing the eye forward.
One of my girls had both eyes that always looked like that tho with the whites showing, she just always looked startled!
Good looking piggy
Hope you get on ok. Xx

I was wondering about an abcess brewing too as it can make the eye bulge. Definitely a vet apppointment needed, Does he seem in any pain?

Doesn't seem in pain running and popcorning as usual
Keep an eye on it, but please see the vet if it hasn't disappeared by tomorrow morning. If it is an abscess or infection at the back of the eye, it is best if it is treated as early as possible.

Its not so bulgy now and he can move it... He will go to vets as soon as I can ... Unfortunately we had a financial issue come up and all of our vet money had to be used so will be a week or so unless It gets worse before then then I'll have to figure something out
