Hi!
I noticed yesterday that Miss Piggy's eye was watery and I looked for anything that was stuck in it but there was nothing. Here is a pic:

If anyone has any advice for me that would be great Very Happy

If you are concerned, rinse her eye with warm salty water... I have had a lot of eye concerns clients lately from hay being stuck in some piggy eyes.
If you open and close her eye lid with your fingers, it will naturally make her eyes water a little and may move any dirt or hay etc to the front of her eye so you can see it.
The salty water will keep it clean.

It doesnt look too bad in the pic - I find hot weather or windy weather can aggravate some of my pig's eyes.

Hi again!
Yes it took two days for her eye to clear up and now it's as good as new :-) I noticed now though she has a bit of hair loss around her eye is this normal? It isn't a bite or anything it's just plain hair loss
