Do guinea pigs have a "third eye lid", I think that's what's it's called. Like on rabbits? Fifi, new rescue, has swollen tissue under both eyes.

She kinda looks like Droopy Dog but not as exaggerated.

Is it pea eye (also called fatty eye)?
Lynx, do you have pictures of pea eye somewhere on here?

Here's one of Pinta's pigs:
I'm working on an eye page but it will still take a while.

That was Zag. Her Pea Eye completely disappeared when Zag went on Lasix for a heart condition.

Yep. No third eyelid (nicitating membrane). Pea eye is essentially conjuntival sac that protrudes (many theories). It is a trait genetically passed on and expressed in affected pigs. It can also be treated surgically if it gets to be a problem. Usually, it's not a huge deal for the pig.
