piggy is losing fur around eye!

[Deleted member 134757]

Hi, I have 2 piggies that are around 1 year and 6 months and one of them is loseing fur around his eye, he has watery discharge and keeps squinting. This has been going on for about 2 or 3 days now and there are no signs of anything else so far. Hes eating and drinking normally, he is not sneezing or coughing, he is only loseing fur aroud his eye, and he has been like his normal self. I think it could be something stuck in the eye but I'm not sure.

Take him to the vet as eyes can deteorate quickly and it needs urgent medical attention and must be very painful.

I agree with Betsy, he needs to be seen by a vet asap. The eyes are very delicate, can deteriorate quickly and if left untreated often lead to the loss of the eye
