My pig got one eye swollen but every thing is normal what should I do as vet doctor is not common in India but still looking for vet doctor I m sure I will find one but before that plz suggest me
 
I would just try to find a vet. You don't know what is going on and would not want to make it worse. Make sure piggy is eating drinking and pooping in the meantime.

You really need to see a vet, This is not something that you can treat yourself and could cause blindness or worse.
 
Hi, we have had similar raised on here recently with vets in India. I'm sure @Prasiddha can give you some pointers
 
Look it up online, I’m sure it will help. Keep her comfortable and happy. Make sure she does not play crazy, or she will hurt the eye even more. Also, make sure she does not run to her hay. She can poke her eye out and that is very serious and you don’t want that to happen. Try to find a vet near you. She might have an eye infection, and that is serious. It can cause blindness and pain. Does she have whiteish stuff around her eye? If she does she might have eye infection, which can cause blindness if not treated. I hope you find a vet to take her to. Good luck!
 
I’m not sure, but don’t give her any ointment yet. The stuff around her eye is transparent?
 
I'm sorry we can't diagnose online or tell you what treatment to use as we aren't vets and, even if we were, we haven't had the chance to inspect your piggy. Any attempt to diagnose or suggest home treatment would be inappropriate and could make the actual condition worse or the vets job of diagnosing harder
 
Sorry to post so late day before yesterday I went to vet and got some antibiotics for eyes and some drops eyes seems to be normal but they r not eating anything thing I m very worried plz advise me
 
One more thing vet gave some steroids is it safe they have become very thin
 
I think it is the medicine affecting them. Try syringe feeding her/him. Also, it can be a dental problem so take them to the vet if she/he are not eating or drinking. I would recommend taking them to the vet because she/he could die if they don’t eat/or drink for 8 hours.
