whitish looking stuff

[*LovesGinny*]

I noticed yesterday that Harry has some whitish looking fluid coming out of her butt, and i don't know what it is. There's not a lot of it, i'm just a little worried.

Wow. I have no idea. But if it was my pig I'd take her to the vet right away.

I have no idea. You could ask at the guinea lynx forum. They know more about health issues. http://www.guinealynx.info/forums/index.php

my pig had that once but it went away!

Sometimes when grooming the guinea pigs discharge fluid from their eyes and normally suck it right back in. I would wipe it off and see if it comes back, if it does, it could mean your pig is ill, if not, it's just the eye fluid.

I think she said it was coming out of her butt, not eyes .

I really have no idea what it is. Hope you figure it out.

They sometimes have a discharge if they're in heat.

Update: whatever it was, it's gone now and i haven't seen it since.

i saw that from my girls once............just once..........

i was about to call my vet, but i decided to wait and see what happened. i never saw any of that stuff again.

i'm really curious as to what it was though, maybe it was like a guinea pig period or something....

I'm really not sure, you should ask at GL.

Was it coming out of her butt or that area in general? It could have been her estrus plug. First time I saw it, I thought my piggie's insides were coming out. My daughter pulled on it and it came out looking like a wad of snot. Very distressing until we figured out what it was!

It could have been because she was in heat. If it happens again, take her to a vet just to be sure. I really don't know what it is....

When it comes out of their eyes that's just something that helps them with grooming. When I saw that coming out of Grimace's eyes I freaked and then found out it's normal and healthy..but for the butt? That's odd.
