Does Stubbins need a bum bath?

[Mo & Stubbins & Vani]

Hi!
Due to her diarrhea, Stubbins' bum appears to be brown.
I do not want to bathe her unless completely necessary, as I feel that she already has so much stress to deal with.
Any advice is much appreciated!

If she is dirty and it is going to make her uncomfortable, then a bum bath would be a good idea

I am not sure whether or not she is uncomfortable. How can I tell?
It seems to be more of a stain (she has mostly white fur).
Thank you so much!

If it is staining then she won’t be uncomfortable.

Thank you!
Should I only give her a bum bath if I see anything caked on her bottom?

You’d want to bum bath for staining as well, but definitely if she is caked

I think that because it is only a stain, I will probably hold off until she is feeling a little bit better.

Have you wiped her with a damp flannel?

I'll try that! ☺

I use scent free baby wipes in between bum baths for Priscilla.
She has long fur which is always getting messy

A warm damp flannel, or scent free baby wipes as suggested are both great for bum baths when you have a piggy who is soiling or staining themselves.
