I just noticed Jessie's got a squinting eye and on closer inspection she had a small piece of russel straw. My dad helped to remove it and she was sqeeling for England compared to her usual quiet self. She's eating some food now and her eye is still 1/2 closed compared to her other one. She's done this before but her ey was fine but it does look abit worse this time. I'm waiting for my dad to get back from the vet with Buttons so i can clean the out and check her eye again.

Should i use some warm water to bathe her eye in wil this help it ?
 
Sounds as if she has scratched her eye. Maybe a trip to the vets for eye drops or eye gel from P@H is good :)
 
Agree, just to make sure she hasn't done more damage then what it appears. I would also advise to stop bedding her on straw, it is not suitable for guineas. O0
