Hi everyone,
Whilst giving our Spike a once over yesterday we noticed a tiny bit of white fluid oozing out his bum, and it looked like some of it had crystalised or gone hard (cant think of how else to explain it) So it was a yellowy white lump and it smelt bad! :)>>> There was a fresh poop there just ready to pop out so its not affecting his bowel movements, neither does he appear at all in pain or uncomfortable. He is eating and drinking normally. He hardly gets calcium in his diet, just very occasional bits of spinach or kale. He has never had impaction problems and despite the lump his anus was nice a clean, so it wasnt that. We gently eased it out and he didnt seem to be bothered. Its still clear today.
Any ideas what could this be?
 
Do a search on boar glue - it is most likely this. I had to ease a glob of JohnnyPig today, though he had smeared half of it on his nose, dirrrrty pig.
