i noticed that one of her eyes was half closed and streaming a bit. i checked her over and bathed the eye and a piece of hay was sticking into it. we managed to gently pull it out and immediately she could open her eye properly although the inside corner is still a tiny bit pink. i bathed it again and it looks much better.

we're at the vets monday with chesney and his weight loss so we will have maisie's eye checked over aswell.

i can't believe what's happening lately! everything at once.

the hay can't have been in her eye long as i keep checking them regularly because of chesney.

i just want to cry at the minute :cry: what am i doing so wrong. :(
 
You're not! You noticed it and removed it. :) They need their hay and this is an unavoidable hazzard, as far as I can see. Hope both guineas get on well on Monday.

sorry, i get all panicky and over anxious. :oops:

her eye looks pretty much back to normal now. :) i bathed it again and will get the vets to check it out on monday.

she's fine in herself aswell, being cheeky as usual. :)
 
Hope your guineas are ok today! :)

thanks for asking about them.. :) they're doing well thank you. i bathed maisie's eye again last night and today i can't see any difference between her eyes so that's good. :) i'll still get the vet to check her over tomorrow though to make sure she's ok. she seems happy enough anyway! :)
 
maisie had her eye checked today at the vets. he put dye into it and checked thoroughly and it's completely fine. :)
