Guinea Pig Belka's Eye Injury

On Monday evening I noticed an abnormal texture and faint clouding on the surface of Belka's left eye. Keeping in mind that eye injuries can result in permanent damage or eye loss if not treated promptly, we made arrangements to bring her to the vet as soon as possible.

Earlier today Revy returned to the vet for a brief recheck to see how her injured eye was healing. Once again he applied fluorescein dye to her eye, shone a Wood's lamp overhead, and commented on her inability to cooperate (described nicely as "even more feisty"). The exam showed that her eye had recovered.

Late yesterday evening our piggy mom went to pick up Revy when she noticed something wrong with her right eye. The half of her eyeball closest to her ears was cloudy and the whites of her eye were red. A closer inspection revealed the apparent culprit, a thin strand of hay protruding from below the rim of her eye.
