Noticed her eye looked a bit red with a couple of gunky/flaky bits on (like she had sleep in her eye).
Does this look like it could be ringworm?
 
It's difficult to say at this stage, the other possibility is something in her eye like a bit of hay. I would get her checked by the vet in case.

Here is our Ringworm guide which shows the different stages.

Thankyou very much. I'll have another look later and if it still doesn't look right I'll phone the vet.
 
Other possibilities include conjunctivitis, or URI - Would have Tulip examined by a cavy-savvy veterinarian.
