Eyes/Non-crusty Pig has a stye in his eye?

[ali815]

Hi all,

I have a 4.5 year old guinea pig named Yuengling. A couple of days ago, I noticed he had some sort of eye inflammation. There's a reddish-pink bump in the inner corner of his eye, almost like a stye? His eyes are not sunken or bugging out; he has no noticeable eye or nose crust. Eating, drinking and pooping normally. He seems a little sleepier than normal, but he still gets up and runs around and popcorns when I talk to him or bring him food. I heard him sneeze once or twice at night, but he generally seems fine besides that and the eye. I have a vet appointment tomorrow, but I'm so nervous! His brother died of a URI a couple years ago so I get worried. Any ideas?

It's hard to tell without a picture, but it sounds like it might be pea eye. Take a look here and see if it looks like any of these: https://www.guinealynx.info/eyes.html
