My guinea pig had a weird flesh lookimg pink thing inside of one of his nostrils. I just noticed it recently. Is this normal or should i be worried?

Are you sure it isn't just pink coloured skin up the nostril ? Or does it actually look like its own separate thing ?
Maybe best to see a vet , preferably one who sees alot of guinea Pigs 👍

I'm not sure but it looks like it might be a seperate thing. Both of my pigs fought today and I seperated them and checked this one and noticed a cut under his nose and it looked as if his nose (on the side that had the pink thing) had a cut connected to it. Could it potentially just be a scar I never noticed?

All the guinea pig vets around me are booked until early august.
 
It is going to require a hands on vet check. Do get an appointment booked in and perhaps keep calling up to see if they have any cancellations.
