Why can i see my guinea pigs eye whites?

• I take my guinea pig out every day feed her veggies and fruits and change her water.I noticed this when I first got her I can see her eye whites like a humans eye whites. Should I be concerned. Ive had her for about 5 months and she seems to act like a normal guinea pig. She is very smart and active. What should I do. Please help. thank you

• Answer:

  A bit odd but it could be a condition called 'fatty eye'. this is when the lower eyelid begins to droop down toward the floor revealing a layer of fat underneath. I suppose that's what your seeing? If you're concerned, i would recommend taking her to the vets. A link has been made to certain heart problems as when the heart problems were treated with a drug caled Lasix the eye problems cleared too, but his isn't always the case. Get her checked out. It might be nothing but its always helpful to know, especially as it could be something underlying.
