Tonight at about 8:00 when I was changing their hay, I notice Gumby's right eye, had a whitish discharge in the bottom eyelid area. Not just in the corner, but the whole of his bottom eyelid had it.
He didn't seemed to be bothered by it at all, I took a look again half an hr later, and it had gone, or maybe just smudged into his fur and the bottom of his eye.
First thing that came to mind was an eye infection or inflammation of some sort.
Anyway, after their dustbath and run around time, I checked out his eye again, and the goobs have completely dried up, and looks absolutely normal, he was a good boy and let me fiddle with eye for bit, and I didn't notice any abnormalities at all. And nothing is coming out of his eye anymore.
So my question is, is it something that I should be worried about, it's 10:30 here now, just checked on him again, nothing abnormal. But worried that he's got an infection since the discharge is whitish.
Can this kind of thing be a one time thing? Maybe he jabbed himself in the eye with something, or got some pumice into his eye?
