Poss. Eye Injury from Hay
Well, now that I've found this forum..I'm just tearing it up with all my newbie questions. I'm upset because one of my brand new piggies seems to have some sort of eye irritation. I noticed this afternoon that her eye looked a wee bit watery and was not open all the way. After searching thru her cage, I found several sharp pieces of hay in her timothy hay and wondered if this could be the cause or if she got something in there. I flushed her eye to see if it helps. The timothy hay I got was made by Kaytee and bought at Petsmart. I'm going to order some Oxbow hay tonight. After looking thru the hay, I couldn't believe how many sharp pieces there were. Does everyone else have to look thru their hay before feeding? Does anyone here that uses Oxbow hay have to do this especially? Thanks yet again!!
