Ill add as many details as i possibly can.
Ive had my guinea pig, Ferris, for more than a month and a half and since the first day hes been happy and running around places i take him arounnd my house. He eats a variety of vegtables and fruits and eats plentful of Orchard Grass (from Petco). A few weeks ago i got him a friend (boy) they got along the first day and have never fought. NEVER. So I'm not so worried about his eye problem being because of a fight. Now A few days ago on Saturday i switched his hay from Orchard Grass (petco) to timothy Hay (petsmart) and this new hay is really thick and pointy so i was worried they wouldnt like it.. The next day i noticed ferris was squinting a little and his eye right eye was a little watery. i worried like crazy and looked things up and the closest thing to his result was him getting a piece of hay in his eye. i was ****** because it was the same day i got him that stupid hay from petsmart and i seriously blame myself for his injury :/! anyways, i waited a day or so to see if it got better and it did. Yesterday i read that i should damp his eye gently with warmish water and i did. His eye seriously looks alot better! But i dont want to risk it, i live in San Ysidro California and i dont know of ANY vets, i would take him but i cant find any that are affordable, my parents deny me of transporting me or giving me any money so if you guys could help me with finding a vet in my area or Chula vista California i would appreciate it. I would take the bus for transportation if i had to. Now thats if he needs it..you guys tell me. His behaviour never changed hes happy and runs like crazy and eats very much. If i missed anything please ask. Thank you so much :]
