Crusty discharge around a guinea pig's eyes can be a sign of a respiratory infection, dental issues affecting the tear ducts, or primary eye conditions like conjunctivitis. Guinea pigs are delicate, and signs of illness can progress quickly. It's important to differentiate between normal 'sleepy dust' and actual discharge. If there's redness, swelling, dullness of the eye, or if your guinea pig is lethargic or losing appetite, it's a concern. Seek veterinary advice promptly. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
