    I'm not sure what you mean specifically when you say eye colds. A cloudy liquid could be the natural secretion pigs make when they groom themselves. However, you could be dealing with some kind of infection or other medical issue. Without being able to see your pigs eyes, it's really hard to narrow down what the issue could be. Look over this link about guinea pig eyes: http://www.guinealynx.info/eyes.html

    Compare the images and descriptions in the link with what you see. If anything suggests this is an illness, get to a vet ASAP. It's never a bad idea to see a vet if you're ever concerned.
