I need help, we dont know what's wrong with my Guinea pig!
So my Guinea pig who's almost one and a half years old has a swollen crusty eye that looks like pus is coming out. We put lavender on it and clean it daily, but we dont know what'swrong. We've also noticed her nose looks really red on half of it like she scratched it and the blood dried. Also, her legs have a few of the same cuts and we are severely worried. She lives with our rabbit coco, but they get along well and never fought. Also the scratch Mark's or infected areas dont look like something from coco.

Vet. Now. Pus coming from the eye is nothing to fool around with.
Also, rabbits and guinea pigs should never live together. Bordatella is pretty endemic in rabbits, and can kill a guinea pig.
The scratches on her leg are either from the rabbit, or because she's self-mutilating because her legs are bothering her.

Ditto everything bpatters says. Especially vet now. This sounds like an emergency. Do not house your guinea pig and rabbit together.

This morning at 10:40 Patches, my shorthair cavy died. We had planned on getting her to the vet straight away tomorrow, the only time we could, because she had carried a disease from our rabbit whi really did love her, Coco. As sad as it us I have to move on as my rabbit still needs care, and I will most likely be less active reposting until further notice.
