big white discharge?

[alex&sylvester]

hello all, i just found a big piece of sludge or white mucus in the cage and i don’t know what it is, it’s the size of a small coin but that is pretty big for a guinea pig, i have no idea what it is but i’m pretty worried, sylvester seems fine as he is eating and drinking but i just wanted to know what it was i’ll attach a photo to show you all.

I would pop him along to the vets for a check up if I were you. That much mucus isn't normal

Hi! You might want to have him vet checked to see whether there is an underlying problem.
