The first vet prescribed eye drops and medication and told the owner to return or go to another vet if the eye condition of the guinea pig had not resolved. The medication was completed but the guinea pig still had eye problems. 

The owner was worried and phoned me about the right eye. Would he become blind?  Fluorescein eye drops showed areas of green cornea, indicating corneal ulcers. The diagnosis was ulcerative keratitis.

Treatment included wearing of Elizabeth collars and anti-inflammatory medication.
