Hi, I was just wondering if my pig us water eyes ot anything I should worry about? I haven't been able to take her to the vet so I thought I'd check with you guys. Here is a picture
 
I can't see the picture, unfortunately. Pigs normally secrete a milky-looking substance from their eyes which they use for grooming. This is totally normal. You will want to see a vet if the eyes are getting crusty or look swollen or irritated. This could be an infection. I do have one pig who gets clear, watery eyes from time to time (mainly outside), has been vet checked and has no issues. I suspect in her case it's an allergy of some kind. But do get them looked at if the eyes are gunky or squinted or swollen or otherwise not normal-appearing.
 
Just saw the picture and that eye looks fine to me... is it milky/whitish tears you are seeing?
 
At the weekly check this morning Velvet had a milky liquid in her eye. This is all perfectly normal. It is cleaning fluid and nothing to worry about. When you need to worry is when the eye is gunky and horrible or has gone cloudy then you need to see the vet.
