Answer
Hello Scott!
I think it is wonderful that you bought a guinea pig for your daughter! I just recently bought one for my God-son!
I will give you a link to a great site that I recommend bookmarking into your favorites.
To me I do not think that currently it is a problem. If anything else gets worse, (discharge from the eyes, crusty eyes, cuts on the eye), then there is only one thing you can do, THE VETS!
I suggest taking a warm (not hot) cloth and holding onto the eyelid gently for a few seconds, just to make sure it is clean and safe.
