I just picked up my Millie and I think I saw a bit of yellowy white discharge coming from her genitals.
It could have been a peice of sawdust as she was wriggling and I didnt get a good look, but it definately looked like discharge
What could it be?
 
Maybe it was sawdust.Piggies sometimes pass a thick yellowy/white urine.This is nothing to worry about. Some gps do not drink enough and this can cause thick urine,.If you suspect this is the case,just give some extra water by syringe.

If the piggy is fine otherwise,just keep an eye on her,watch for any strong smell or blood from the genital area,but I am sure she is fine.

I do not use sawdust or wood shavings for my pigs as the dust from this may cause eye irritation and it can get stuck round the genital area and cause irritation there as well.

I use newspaper and hay.If I have a poorly or very frail elderly pig,I use vetbed.
 
I dont use sawdust I use woodshavings, but because of te risks I cover it with hay and only use it as an absorbing layer
underneath
She's acting fine apart from that and between them they're drinking a lot of water, so I think it might have been sawdust.
If its still there later then I'll try to get a proper look
