Buttons has a eye issue!!! :((

[smallsquishy]

Button's eyes are Squinty all the time. Sometimes it all the way closed! I need major help!!!

Try gently pulling the eye lid apart to see if there is any debris in the eye (Hay etc.) Or if the eye is discoloured at all. If there is still no sign of anything or change then post a pic so we can have a look, guineas tend to get little bits stuck in their eyes from time to time as they are always burrowing in hay.

Let us know how you get on

How old is she and hos much does she weigh?

Have you checked her teeth are all ok and in tact, not overly long?

Is she living alone?

she is 8 weeks old. I have not gotten a scale for my pigs yet. Her teeth a perfect. Her and squishy are split up for now, but I've been putting them in their cage together everyday. She is a albino, so I was wondering if she might be sensitive to bright lights? :/

Best way to see if it is due to light would be to take her somewhere dark and see if she opens her eyes for a long time without squinting, let me know if this works,

I did something like that, I opened the window and she squinted, then I closed the window and covered her eyes and she didnt squint. Is this accurate? I'll do what you said to do to!

It could be due to the bright light we have been having recently then, is there anything coming from the eye like wetness around the eye, crusty around the eye or gooey? If she acts normal when she is in a darkened room then you know she just has sensitive eyes and you shouldn't have too much to worry about.
Just let me know if this works. I used to have a pure white and pink eyed sheltie and he used to squint a lot when faced with very bright weather I just used to make sure his eyes were clean with no sign of wetness, crust, goo around them and he was fine; I find pink eyed guineas to be more light sensitive than dark eyed but of course that is just my opinion.

yes it worked! Thank you wiggypiggys Kayleigh! Her eyes are only wet when she is squinting them not in the darkend room! Thanks guys! :-)))

No problem just make sure to keep an "eye" on it for infection etc. Sorry no pun intended!
