    The life span of a guinea pig is 4-7 years. Your guinea pig may just be showing the effects of old age, such as cataracts.

    A cloudy eye or increased opacity of the eye is associated with reduced transparency of either the cornea, the fluid media within the eye, or the lens. This change may be described as a "film" covering the eye or as an increased cloudiness within eye. Cloudiness of the eye may or may not be associated with a reduction in vision. The causes of a cloudy eye typically fall into one of the following categories:


    Cloudiness of the cornea, which may occur with corneal infections, corneal scarring, infiltrative inflammatory diseases of the cornea, fatty infiltration or calcium deposition within the cornea, or corneal edema (fluid accumulation)


    Cloudiness of the aqueous humor, which is the fluid that circulates within the front chamber of the eye. This may be due to the accumulation of white blood cells, protein, fatty lipids or blood.

    My advice would be to see a vet as causes of cloudyness do vary from case to case its not however life threatening!

    Jennie thanks all of you ABers

    I am not trying to be rude. But when you first got the pet you should have thought about medical bills and all. If you can not afford to take it to the vet then it needs to go to a good family who can financially take care of it
