Well the vet came to my house today and checked out the pigs. He said they are totally fine and have no diseases, or anything. The only thing was the my long haired one had like a white cloud like thing i think he called it an abrasion or something. But he gave me some ointment for it and said it should be fine. He also told me it would be fine to put them together. Thanks everyone for the help and getting me to understand how awful the pet stores are with animals.

One of my pigs had one. It's usually caused by a scratch.
 
My Pumpkin had one on her eye from a bite during introductions. The vet prescribed an ointment and it healed beautifully.
 
My older piggy, Bracken, has what the vet calls "fatty deposits" on the front of her eyes. She still has her peripheral vision (she followed a carrot with her eyes in the vet's office!) but would need reading glasses if she were human. The vet couldn't see any apparent reason for it, but he says that abyssinian cavies are more prone to cataracts and the like than other breeds. Wonder why?
 
Congrats, Casper. :)
