Part of your guinea pig’s overall health and wellness includes routine checks to ensure his eyes are clear and healthy. Even small eye irritations can quickly escalate into something huge if they are not identified and treated right away. If you think your guinea pig has something in his eye or his eye is irritated, swollen, or watery then give your vet a call. Normally, a guinea pig’s eyes should be clear and free of crustiness or gunk buildup. Depending on the breed, your guinea pig’s eyes could be dark in color, a ruby red or even pink. Most guinea pig’s have a milky white discharge of the eye which the use to lubricate their eye and keep them clean. If you’ve watched your cavy long enough you may have noticed that he doesn’t blink. His eyes are open almost all the time. Talk to your Forest Hill, MD veterinarian to learn more about your guinea pig’s eye health.
