Hi I have had over 20 guinea pigs and only one has had that happen. I used a cotton ball and mineral oil , apply several times a day untill they are healed. This should clear up the problem , if it isn't better in about a week I would take them to the vet. If you have anymore questions just ask! Bridgette
