Pinky has a poorly eye

He runs into his cuddle sac like a good boy when I need to handle him. And I think he quite likes the eye drops and gels. They must be very soothing. Yes we are definitely bonding

There might be pea in the critical care, so why eat a pea flake when you can drink it in your soup?
I know. Thank goodness.His eye is looking amazingly better

That eye looks a lot better! Well done Pinky. Keep getting better!
He’s not having any soup at the moment. I’m not sure I could fit in syringe feeding too!

Looks much better!
Vet appointment went ok. Just a quick check up. She said the same thing that there isn’t a massive ulcer. So we are not sure it was a hay poke.
She was a locum and did say to me I’m not used to looking in guinea pigs eyes. She did at least give me dog loxicom twice a day.
I’m in with the exotics vet again on Wednesday.

I really hope soPinky's eye is more normal in size and it looks like he perhaps can see through it. Dare we hope it will be Ok in a little while with more meds?
. Straight from his bummie. This is a good sign for a piggy on antibiotics. But Patrick's not happy about being chased.

The eyeball is blue at the top, has a white bit through the middle and is red at the bottom.
He’s happy in himself though.
Because the eye is clear, you see the healing process in action - including any cloudiness from healing tissue and temporary blood vessels that bring extra oxygen to any injured area.
Just keep sticking at it.

It looks loads better. I once watched a Los Angeles guinea pig rescue video about a boy with an ulcerated eye who fully recovered even though it looked like he would definitely lose it. Their powers of recovery can be amazing.

So pleased to see the improvement
It’s definitely looking a lot better. He’s back to his cheeky self again too. Wheeking for veggies and zooming around the cage.
He’s still getting lots of meds and lubrication. Hopefully I can start to reduce it after seeing the vet on Wednesday
