Teenage Guinea Pig
So Tica has some sort of issue going on with her eye. I was wondering why she was a little more subdued than usual this morning and when I took her out of her igloo, I noticed her eye. Obviously I'll be taking her to the vet, but I'm thinking it could be conjunctivitis? Is this contagious? Right now, she's still in her cage with Vixen. I have mushed up some pellets in water for her and left some solid ones in as well. But she was eating hay when I put her back into the cage and ate veggies when I was inspecting her eye. It is taking her a tiny bit longer to eat things that she would normally gobble right up but I imagine that's because her one cheek below her eye is a little bit swollen. She's still moving about but the sight is obviously affected in that eye. I wiped away around the eye with a warm, damp cloth to wipe off the weeping from her fur. Anyways, I thought I'd get some advice on here as well as the vet. Thanks!
