Thick goo in eye? Help!

[AlexandraGuineaPigMom]

Hey I just realized that my Guinea pig (otherwise healthy and about 3 years old) has a weird white goo around his (and only his) right eye
See pictures

He's acting completely normal, just sometimes itches his eye but doesn't seem in pain or anything

What is this and what should I do? Please help, I'm really worried!

Hi

It just looks like something has not been reabsorbed by the tear duct.

Keep an eye on the eye in case it starts running, squinting or becomes a bit more indrawn in the coming days (indicating a scratch to the surface or a non-ulcerating eye poke) but otherwise I would not worry.
