My guinea pig had something on her eye and I got it off but her eyes still seems a tad swollen but she's still running around the cage. Should I be worried about her eye?

You should monitor the eye, if it doesn't look right after 24 hours i would recommend taking Heudi to the vet in order to get it checked and treated as the eye might be injured or infected and will require antibiotic treatment.
