I have been sick for a few weeks on and off with the common cold.
I think I have accidentally gotten the guinea pig sick.
For a few days to a week or so, she has had teary/crusty eyes everyday, a few times a day.
I do remove the crust, but it still comes back.
The nose is fine, no discharge, no problems breathing, no sneezing, no cloudiness in eyes or cataracts, no injuries to the eyes or items stuck in them.
No loss in weight or loss of appetite, still a happy piggy for the most part, and energetic, no loss in water intake, no mouth sores, etc.
Cage is clean, so its not dust allergies, and its never happened before.
I was pretty sick for like 3-4 weeks so Im sure she has caught it but the only symptom is the watery/crusty eyes clear discharge/not milky.
I dont believe its an upper respiratory infection as there have been no other signs, but it has only been a few days to a week so perhaps it is the beginning stages of a uri?
If there were more symptoms, I would take her to a vet, but it sounds like the vet may not be able to do anything and it will just have to run its course.
What type of antibiotics would you recommend?, or is there another treatment?
