my guinea pig just went in a bath. I took him out and did the usual stuff. What i though was weird is that i looked at her eye. It had white stuff in it. apparently t was used to clean the eye. but just in case its something... you know. bad. i decided to ask here. i'm a little bit worried but it think she will be find. I just want to know what it is and why. Thank you!

The "cleaning fluid" that guinea pigs have in their eyes is indeed white, but they can also have a couple of eye conditions that cause whiteness in the eye.

Can you wipe the white stuff away? If so, it's probably cleaning fluid.

If not, can you post a good, clear, close-up picture?
