3 Musketeers
Junior Guinea Pig
Hi all! I'm sorry that I only posted this now, but I was very busy throughout the past 2-3 weeks that I haven't had the time to write this post.
A couple of weeks ago, I was handling some of my boars, until I noticed something very peculiar on my boar shadow's bum, it was this big scab or crust, it looked like a mix of litter,pee, and poop though, of course, me being the over-emotional, sensitive owner I am, setting into full panic mode.
"its an abscess, he's gonna die!" i wail,crying my eyes out, it was a sunday and no vets were open.
My friend, originally a guinea pig/hamster owner started saying.
"its not, dont worry, give him a bum bath and try picking it out."
thats what I did, the thing was, shadow was pooping absolutely fine, so that was one thing i was relived of.
I dipped shadow in and out of of a luke-warm bath and managed to squeeze the dirty patch out, it wasn't hurting him I think, he didn't wheek once.
I didn't capture a photo, but it was quite brown, and crusty.
I got it off, and he's showed no signs of being in pain, or any problems.
I kinda though it could've been boar glue? because it was really stuck.
Any Ideas?
