Crusty Eyes Crust around the eye - picture

Alright, he is most certainly sick after isolating him and viewing him for a few hours. My other pig licked his eye for whatever reason, and now I'm terrified that I'll have two that are sick. Vetinarian care is not going to be an issue, but as for my other guy, how long would it be before I would expect to see symptoms? Honestly, I'm thinking about setting an appointment to a vet anyway for him for a "just in case" scenerio. I have no idea what to do, though.

Could I take the other pig to a vet even though he isn't showing symptoms?

Sorry to hear your piggy isn't doing well! I would recommend you take him to a cavy savvy exotic vet as soon as possible. You can read more information here:

Hope all goes well!

Thanks! The original owner is going to take care of him. It's kind of a long story. I'm scheduling a an appointment for my current cavy for a "just in case" on Monday. He's still doing great, but I know these things can't take time to show. Best catch it early.

What a sad day, though. Just a quick question, is an unlimited supply of hay a day and a baby carrot a day enough to keep their teeth in shape? Pinto is doing this odd thing where he is chewing for absolutely no reason. I'm glad I've found a vet X_X
