I have come home to find flipflop with a sqinty eye
She looked off colour and she has lost 100g in weight over the week. Last time i cant remember if i fed her before or afterwards tho. Will weigh again tomorrow

Is there anything i can give her to help with the eye pain. Assuming its that. There is no grass in it as far as i can see but she def doesn't seem comfy with it

Please see a vet for a proper look at her. It can be an eye injury from a cratch or hay poke or something stuck under the eye lid. A vet can see whether there is an ulceration or not, which you can't from just looking at a watery eye. Any potential eye injury should bee seen promptly. They can develop very quickly, but with correct treatment tend to come down faily quickly again, too.
 
I'm going to get her in tomorrow but in the mean time is there anything that can help
 
It's good you are going to see a vet. Eye problems can quickly deteriorate and so prompt treatment is a must. I hope,you get it sorted for your piggy.
 
So actually I dont think its her eye. She has just pooped on me and oh my days are they bad. They are huge and clumped together. Vets tomorrow.
So far what I have done is cleaned them out and only put their hay and their dry food in. No sawdust or anything. That way I can keep an eye overnight and take her in tomorrow.

There is no blood but she is not comfy when I try and look at her bottom.
I will keep getting up in the night to check on her

I hate it when my piggies are ill
