Question
my guinea pig's eye is swollen shut nad has pus coming out of it.I have called at least 10 animal hospitals today and no one can see him I don't know what to do can you help me thank you

Answer
You really need to contact a veterinarian immediately! It could be an upper respritory infection. There are very deadly and fast acting in guinea pigs. It could also be allergies also but it is very very important that a veterinarian rules out upper respritory infection. If it is he will need to be prescribes antibiotics right away. I hope this helped. Sorry it took so long. I had some things going on at home. Have a good night.
