I came home tonight to find that my 5ish month old piggy had a few crusties around only one of her eyes. it was only on the left eye and looked more like a little dandruff than eye crusties. I tried to find a post on here that was similar but couldn't. She has no nose discharge, and has been eating (hay, pellets, veggies) and drinking normal and her poop is normal (she's in a cage by herself right now). My normal vet is now closed until Monday and I honestly don't trust bringing her to an emergency vet, since they can barely ever figure out what's wrong with a cat or dog and they always charge an arm and a leg. Is there anything I can do until my vet is open on Monday besides just keep an eye on it? I cleaned it all off with some warm water to see if any more appear and as of yet, its still clear (its only been about an hour though). I'll definitely be monitoring her all weekend very closely, but should I up her vitamin c intake? Or do anything else special?
Note: If it does absolutely get worse before Monday I'll end up taking her in but...I just don't really trust any emergency vets around here.
