Hi
My female chinchilla has had dampness around her eyes for a while. I looked online as soon as I saw it appear and all I read was that if she was eating, drinking, pooping and seemed herself then its nothing I should be concerned about and that it will go away soon. It's been a few weeks and no change, she still hasn't changed how she acts or eats etc but the dampness has not gone down. At first I thought it might have been sand irritating her eye after a bath but now I'm not so sure. It's only one eye that is affected, she shares a cage with another, a male (castrated) and both his eyes are perfectly fine.
If it's something that will go away on its own then great, because she hates being handled. She's not antisocial, she will let you touch her, but she will NOT let you hold her. Last time I took her to the vet it really affected her mood afterwards and would not let me go near her. :(
I have attached an image of her eye. Thanks!
