guinea pig - rubbery white discharge?
had all my guinea's & the bunny out on the grass yesterday afternoon while i cleaned one of their hutches. when i was finished & trying to wrangle them all home i noticed some while stuff on the grass
still wearing my gloves from cleaning the hutches, i poked it, expecting it to be a watery fluid, shock when i poked it & it was hard :eek:
following that i checked all the pigs & honey bunny as i put them away, got to my last sow & her rear end was wet and covered in the stuff
anyone have any ideas as to what this could be?
the boars were chasing her around, so at first i thought it might have been "them" but this was before i found that it was hard

i'd liken it to cheese if anything
it's definitely come from one of these guys
can't have been from anywhere else as it wasn't on the grass when i put them down there was nothing in the hutch either so i dunno

thats what i initially thoguht too
it was a good 2 or 3 hours they were out
there was an awful lot of it too
I was shocked when one of mine wee'd on me (on a white blanket) and it was a pink colour, but apprently their wee when dry can change colour.
But if in doubt take to vet, can never do any harm, good luck.:)
and wee?
really?
i've had them pee before though, on the grass
why would it go solid?
the vet would probably be a good idea, would be the first time i've ever had to go in with a guinea
only thing is, i can't actually afford to take her until next month
had to get the dog's boosters done & it wiped me out
