sorry if this is in the wrong section!

Ive found a matted lump on cleo's bum tonight. its about the size of a marble. Defiantly fur and not skin lump but she still wasnt happy about me checking it out.
Fell like SUCH a bad mummy for not spotting it ealier!:red:0
Should i try to wash it out or carefully cut it out?

I want to bath them all tonight anyway - can i use Johnsons baby shampoo or just warm water? thanks!

It will be fine to trim it. Many people with long haired pigs keep their bums trimmed to avoid knots. Baby shampoo is ok, maybe get some gorgeous guineas for the future, it's lovely. x

thankyou very much nutmeg!

Yep trim it with some hair scissors. All my long haired boys have bowl cuts! but always good to try to keep on top of the grooming at least once a week. Good luck
