[saeedeh]

hey everyone
I have a female 9 months old piggie.I have noticed a white creamy stuff like mucus beside her poop.this has happened once before ,almost 3 months ago.It's not calcium ,I'm sure.she looks and eats very well.Should I be worried ? what can I do ?

I think its probably worth a vet check, this could be coming from her reproductive tract or bladder and might indicate an infection. It doesnt sound like an emergency if she is well in herself, but any unusual discharge should have a routine vet check in the next few days just to rule out anything nasty before it could get worse and start making her feel unwell.

Mucussy discharge is coming more likely from her reproductive tract than her urinary tract. Do you have a vet you can see where you are?

It can point to an infection, which would be much easier to cure if it was picked up early.

It is not a life or death emergency, but more of a 'better have this checked out to head off potentially more serious trouble later on' situation.
