Please help! Guinea pig doesn't seem to see well, have a feeling he's blind :(

Hello! So, today when I took S'more in for a cuddle and some veggies, he has been having trouble "searching" or finding the carrots/cucumbers etc. He keeps on getting stressed and running around looking for his veggies. He keeps on bumping into things too! His eyes look fine, there doesn't seem to be any infection, puss, slime or white substance there, it all looks normal! Is there a way I can check if he is blind or is just having fun and being excited?

Hello. Hmm I think best to ask the vet to take a look at him if you're concerned.

Piggies can develop cataracts - how old is your boy ?
If this is something that he has recently been doing, he may have them but only sure way is to pop him to your vet. I had one of my girls checked as she had a cloudy eye and we thought it could have been congenital or an injury before we rescued her - it turned out to be an old injury.
Piggies can lead normal lives if things are not moved around in their homes to confuse them.

Piggies have an acute sense of smell so in the event of blindness, will literally follow their noses
