Hello guys, my guinea pig has a pinkish/redish eye bag in the inner corner of an eye.. She never had this before.. I suspect it is because maybe 2 mounths ago she had a hay in her eye stuck really bad... Its was there for almost 2 days before i removed it, eye was very red and watery.. It fully recovered but from time to time it was again a little watery but nothing too noticable.. Now that her eye is not watering for a good 2-3 weeks she developed this weird eye bag (picture below).. How can I treat it? What is that? The bag is not getting any bigger which is a good sign I guess?

Hello and welcome I don't see anything wrong with the eye. It seems normal to me. I will check the picture under different light. Maybe I'll see something, then. Hay pokes, and getting hay pieces in the eye, is fairly common, though not good for them. I'm glad you found the piece of hay and got it out.

Here is the picture before the injury happened, it might help (the eyebag in the corner is non existant) ... I also think that the eye is okay but I just wanted to check 😇 Thank you for your fast response!

I also see no cause for concern. I can see what you mean about the shape of the eye changing slightly, but I think sometimes that just happens over time (for example as they lay down fat as they mature, or sometimes the skin just losing a bit of elasticity with age)- in the last picture it looks like the eyelid is a little looser at the back rather than the front, so it could just be a natural variance in positioning.
Welcome to Wheekers by the way, both to you and your beautiful piggy!

I can see the difference, but agree with Bean that I don't see anything concerning. She is a gorgeous guinea girl
