Hey, so today I noticed that my piggy's left eye was red and a little swollen. I looked online and tried a saline solution for her eye. One hour later, her eye was even more swollen and red. I can't get to a vet at this very moment, but is there anything I can do in the meantime?

Ask for any information that may help you help me please. Thanks!

Here are some pictures, I could take better ones if needed.

Please take her to the vet as soon as you can; home treatment can make it worse. Any eye injury needs to be seen by a vet to make sure that you get the appropriate medication.
 
I definitely will, already looking into a place to take her.
She seems ok right now though, she's eating and pooing fine. Just breaks my heart when she looks at me. =\
 
I agree she needs the vet it looks very sore. Please ask for pain relief too.
 
owch! that does look painful, looks like it could be the membrane by the eye as opposed to an eyeball injury, a vet visit is definitely in need, hope you can find her a place. Try having a look on the recommended vets section on here if she isn't already with a cavy savvy vet.Speed is of the essence though as eye problems can escalate out of control quickly.
it might be worth getting the vet to check her teeth too, as tooth abcesses can cause problems with eyes. But if she is eating fine that might not be a possibility.
Good luck at the vets & speedy recovery to your little lady from the girls & i. xx
