Q: My gerbil has a pink ring around his eye is he ok what should i do please help?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
A: It might just be his tears. Take a q-tip and dip it in warm water and very gently try to rub it off from around his eye. A warm wash cloth will work well too. His eyes may have been irritated by bedding or a scratch. If this doesn't clear up in a day or so and wiping off the area does not help please take him to see a vet.
