A guinea pig’s eyes can say a lot about his personality, temperament, and his health. If you think your guinea pig may be having trouble with his eyes, call your veterinarian to schedule an in office visit. Guinea pigs typically keep their eyes open at all times even while they are sleeping. In order for their eyes to remain moist and lubricated, a special milky white ooze is often secreted from the eye. This discharge covers the eyes and naturally moistens them. Once this occurs, your cavy will then take his front paws and “wash” his face or his eyes in order to remove the secretion. It is common for your guinea pig to go through this routine several times a day. If you don’t notice your cavy cleaning his face regularly, check his eyes and call your vet clinic Tampa FL to set up an exam.
