Hi again! You must get sick of me posting!

I was doing a regular bum check on the boars and noticed something brown in Kasper's foreskin. So without much effort it came out with 2 cotton buds and he didn't flinch at all. It was white all the way through and was about half an inch long, only the tip was brown. It's weird as it wasn't there last night before they went to bed :^- ... it has an AWFUL semen type smell. I'm just wondering if this is normal and if it would have passed when he was urinating or if it was possibly blocked? I really don't want to smell that again lol. Would have taken a photo but it went straight in the bin :)>>>
 
Its normal my boys get it periodically, I check them regularly and clean them as and when needed :)
 
Is it normal to be sickened by the smell? haha
 
Its not a pleasant smell but i see it as good practice because as they get older males mainly get impaction and the smells far worse :))
 
Part and parcel of owning male piggies i'm afraid. Male piggies tend to drag their bums across the floor and pick up debris in the anal sack and this is what creates the smell. Regular cleaning helps prevent it happening. I do mine periodically :)

This is worth a read :)
