Your Guinea Pig may have an eye infection. Set up a vet appointment. They will give you and ointment that you will put between his or her eyelids. Until the vet appointment I suggest taking a paper towel and putting warm to hot water on the paper towel. Then you need to dab the paper town on the guinea pigs eye. The pig will naturally close his eye while you do this. You might see green ooze come out of the corner of his or her eye. If you do see this than patting the paper town in the same matter in which you did to make the ooze come out. Although doing this will make your guinea pig's eye look better. You still need to take him or her to the vet. Reason being that even with the medicine the eye infection might come back. Without medicine you wont be able to get rid of the infection. I had this same problem and the medicine only costed me a total of $25 dollars and that's with a vet visit and the medicine. Use the medicine until it is completely gone.
After the infection is gone make sure your pig is getting vitamin C which could have been the problem in the first place. Athough for me it was not a vitamin C problem. My pig was sick from the time I got him. The eye infections kept coming back. The infection might be a sign of other problems but most of the time its just a lack of vitamin C.
I hope this helps anyone out there who is having this problem. I remember when this happened to my pig and I was frantic. Hope all is well with your pig!

If your guinea pig just had two babies and one was born with its eyes still fused closed and also seems smaller than its sibling will the eyes open or is it a birth defect?
The baby is a lethal guinea pig, this means that it has either dalmation or roan parents. The baby is no where near to opening that eye. Take it to the vet and see what is wrong with it.
