So this morning whilst checking over Branston I noticed his eye looked a little watery and had a bit of discharge. (Barely noticeable). My mum said to leave it but I decided to clean it anyway. I used a warm cotton pad and slid it across and out came a tiny piece of hay. It was the thinnest thing ever but stretched over most of his eye when I moved it from the corner of his eye. I was so shocked! I was going to clean his eye tonight but I am so glad I didn’t wait now! I honestly saw nothing at all until I cleaned the discharge so it just shows you should always trust your instincts.
 
I recommend you get your Guineapig ‘s eye checked by a vet.

Even a minor scratch is likely to require ointment and painkillers
