Gunk In eyes???

D

Dustbunny

Warren Scout
Recently, Dustbunny has been getting a little gunk or gooey stuff in his eyes... not outside near the tear ducts (?), but actually on his eye. He's been molting recently, and so i'll blame it on that, but I also expect his hay to blame... I fear it may be too dusty. He's his normal self- eating like a little pig, drinking plenty of water, and pooing/ peeing (believe me.... plenty!!!). I've been having to use my finger to take it out roughly every day, and he enjoys it as much as I do... i'll try to get pics up some time but for right now i'm having trouble posting images... Any ideas???
 
Could be an infection.. he doesnt have long hair does he? I only ask cos one of mine gets his long hair stuck to his eye sometimes and that causes little bits of goo on his eye. I use a cotton wool pad and cooled boiled water to wipe his eye clean. If its an ongoing problem might be best to get him checked out by a vet in case he has an infection there
 
Yes, he does have long/ medium-long fur... doesn't seem to have any today, but nothing seems infected so i Guess it's just the fur... thanks!
 
Pringle gets a milky liquid out his tear ducks when his teeth are botherin him, when i stroke round his eyes it comes out and sometimes drips. Could be his teethx
