Problem With Guinea Pigs Bum.

[BumbleBee87]

Hello, I have just noticed my guinea pigs bum is matted and sticky I have tried washing it in just warm water but I can't see it doing anything. A bit odd but I can't even see his bum hole. I bred guinea pigs as a child but I've never seen this. Anyone know what this is and what I can do? Thanks

Hi and welcome

I would recommend to have it seen by a vet. It is not in the right location for an overactive the grease gland, as it is not centrally sited by the looks of it. it could be a burst cyst, but it is impossible to tell from your picture.

PS: I would like to make you are aware that we are a strictly non-breeding and non-prize showing pro-rescue pet owners forum. It would be good if you please refrained from mentioning breeding, as I could raise sensibilities.

I would agree and recommend a vets visit asap. Whereabouts are you located? We may be able to advise a good vet if you don't have one

Hi and welcome to the forum. As Wiebke said its not quite in the right area for the grease gland and I would also like to add that it is most definitely not the bum hole too the hole is underneath the piggy at the back end so I would definitely recommend a vet trip

Take your piggie to the vets it doesn't look good probably a burst cyst like Wiebke said.
