Hello,
I am aware this is a relativity common subject, I suppose, so therefore if you could just re-direct me to another thread/webpage where to help my asses whether or not my piggie has pea eye or not, that would be great, thanks.
However, if you'd be so kind as to post a response right now, then this is what her eye looks like (I know pictures would be better, but I don't have any at the moment);
It started off as her right bottom eye lid drooping a bit, and a white liquid like substance forming at the bottom - now this was a few months ago, if not more. I gave her some Brolene eye drops which I have used to treat other eye infections such as hay poke, and they cleared up - however nothing changed. I continued to monitor it, and as she showed no distress, comfort or any changing of behavior, I just left it. Although, over the past few months it has slowly changed so that she now has a minor pink lump on the bottom left corner of her eye (in the white fluid place, not on her actual eye ball). I have searched images of pea eye and it looks similar - however not all Guinea Pig's are the same and I couldn't quite find a clear/accurate picture. Again, she seems to be her regular self, or else I would have whisked her to the vets straight away. I just want to ensure that she is in no potential harm. I'll post pictures asa I can. Thank you all !
Oh, and btw, she is 2 and a half years old, and is probably at target weight, if not a little under, yet she has always been this way and is certainly not disinterested in food.
