I recently got a new female guinea pig. Her name is Hazelnut ("Hazel" for short). She is about 7 months old (it is hard to tell her exact age because she had two owners before me ) and she is an American Crested.
Today when clipping Hazel's nails I noticed something on her nose. It seemed like there were two scratch marks on her pink nostril (her right nostril). I didn't know if she had scratched her own nose because it was bothering her, or if she had gotten scratched by the cat who used to live with her in her previous home. I also thought it might have been dry skin. I don't think it looks like discharge at all, but I suppose that is a possibility.
Here are pictures of her nose:
What do you guys think it looks like? Do you think this indicates sickness or do you think she's okay/healthy?
