Hello all, my pig patches had had some changes in one eye recently. From what I?ve read so far, I?m worried. This pig was adopted from a very sketchy home, I believe he was a result of a breeder. I actually adopted him because he had a bad eye, based on the living conditions I feared that his ?deformity? would make him worthless to the owner, and cause his demise. Anyway, I was told he was blind in one eye, and have never had any issue with it. I even had a friends mother (a vet) take a look and she thought it was fine. Recently though, the eye has seemed noticeably larger. I don?t know how I haven?t noticed it before but from looking at pictures it appears to have happened slowly, as he has grown, which may have made it look more proportional.
I?m not sure why the one photo is upside down, but hopefully these help.
I found a new exotics vet and plan to take him in ASAP. From the research I?ve done so far I believe it might be a tumor , cyst, or infection. The fact that the eye has been that way since birth has me a bit tangled up, on one hand I?m less worried about a tumor, but a genetic problem could be more serious.
So im ranting a little, but if anyone has seen or dealt with something similar please share. I?m currently out of work so any discussion around pricing for surgery, vet visits, antibiotics, whatever - I?d love the input! My little guys come first, but I do need to try to figure out financing/ applying for a new card / whatever it takes ahead of time.
Thank you!!!
