Hi, I currently have a guinea pig who seems to be in really good shape. She’s eating, drinking water, playing and running around. But she has discharge coming from only one eye. Theres no runny nose, wheezing, or any other symptoms. Just want to know if I should be concerned with this discharge?

Make sure the bedding that you are using is not dusty. As long as the eye looks normal and is not red or irritated it could be nothing serious. Clean with a washcloth daily. If there are any more symptoms or the eye looks irritated then have her checked out
