Not Sure If I Should Be Worried

[bethunsx]

Picked up Wilbur today and noticed some nasty brownish 'gunge' on my hand. I had a look to see where it could be coming from and he had some more on his stomach which I wiped off. It seemed he had discharge coming from his bottom but I'm not sure if it could actually be boar glue that just appeared to come from his bottom? I checked everything down there and it all seemed clean (no hay trapped) etc. He's only 3 months old so I don't think he has any problems with impaction.
He's been eating fine but I'm now worried he has some sort of infection.

Any advice?
Thank you

Hi! Could you please take a picture? It is impossible for me to guess just from your description. If in doubt, please see a vet.

Hi
I wiped it away with a bit of damp cotton wool just checked again to see if there was anything to take a photo of but nothing else yet. I'm going to keep checking on him so will take a photo if anything else appears. If it happens again I'm going to book him in at vets.
Thank you
