Cavy Kung-Fu
Adult Guinea Pig
I've been meaning to post about this for a while, one of my new babies has got an eye that appears to have stopped growing.
After taking her to the vets they've confirmed that it's very unlikely that she can see out of it, they think it may have a cataract in it too. They've said that it's possible that it's a birth defect and it just hasn't grown with the rest of her (it wasn't prominent as an issue when I first got her).
They've said to keep an eye on it (apologies) to make sure it doesn't get any smaller, if it does it could mean that it has died and needs removing, but I don't think it has.
Has anyone got any experience with this? She's a very healthy (and vocal) piggy otherwise, although she can run into things it doesn't cause a lot of problem.
Any advice would be appreciated!
