Hi everyone. I recently had 2 adorable skinny pigs come through the vet clinic I work at as an owner surrender. They arrived housed together, the owner stated they never bred 
...but are both male and female.
I now have them separated but the male is doing a lot of what I presume to be marking and is quite stinky. We suspected a bit of an impaction but i found a lot of smegma (?) Which was very smelly and sticky, not really any fecal matter. Although after I cleaned the area about 15 pellets came out.
Could someone here with more experience advise of if you see anything of concern? Or if this little pig just needs some consistent cleaning. He is estimated to be approx 1 year old.
As stated I did attempt to clean the area with a qtip, coconut oil and a quick bath as his skin was dirty. But I wont lie, I was kind of intimidated and didnt want to over due it or cause injury. Please help!

. Looks like you've done a good job cleaning, just keep an eye on the area as there is a chance he will need it doing regularly now.
