Question
i have 3 baby guinea pigs and they are all happy and healthy except 2 of them have one cloudy eye each 1 of them has a bit if sticky discharge which i a cleaning with a bit of warm water and cotton wool. can you help by telling me if there is anything i can do for the cloudy eyes.

Answer
Since guinea pigs are prone to the occular version of herpes I would have them all checked for that. The only thing I know of that will clear a cloudy eye is a steroid ointment but you shouldn't use one in certain conditions and that is why you need a vet to look these guys' eyes over.
