Hi- Can you tell me more about it? Are the eyes themselves cloudy, or are you talking about milky white stuff coming out of the corners of the eyes? If it is a white fluid, that is normal. It is some sort of grooming aid they use and spread all over their head and body if they can. Some guinea pigs make more of it than others. In some you won't really notice it at all and others make a bunch and always seem to have a little. If that's what it is than your piggie is just fine. Let me know if the eyeballs are cloudy or something else because that's another story. Good luck.
Cathy
