I just adopted a baby female piggy. I already have a boar, no they are not in the same cage I haven't gotten him neutered yet, this one was supposed to be a male but the girl I adopted from didn't sex her correctly. Anyways, she is only about 3 or 4 weeks old, the girl also told me she was older than that but there is no way she is 6 weeks old. So after the first night of having her I noticed a little white discharge. It was like chalk almost and very white. Then the next day there was less and now today, day 3, I noticed different discharge its not as chalky but I am pretty sure it was left over from her pee. I read that maybe she has too much calcium? Maybe it is from the change in food, I don't know what they fed her before. I had noticed a little bit in Cosmo's urine, my boar, when I first had him but now I don't see it anymore. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I am a little worried. I am thinking of maybe just taking her to vet to be on the safe side.
 
Hello.
I think you are right by taking her to the vet just to be sure. I have never seen it on my litters of pups but don't stress just go see the vet.
Hope this help,
Guineagurl xx:)
