hi!
This morning I went to feed my piggies breakfast outside in the hutch and I noticed my 11 month boar Zazu was standing still twitching. After he moved I found a big puddle of white puss and in it was half a poo. He didn't make any noise and I don't know what this means. Please help! I really don't know what it is or what to do. I do hope its nothing to serious or fatal!

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thx
 
It's hard to tell without seeing it. How much was there? Guinea pig urine can be a milky cloudy colour and they can have calcium deposits which come out a white liquid but dries a chalky powder, which is normal (as long as it doesn't feel rough/gritty)

Milky pees that dry to a white powder are the regular way to excrete any excess calcium and nothing to worry about. The poo is nothing to worry - that can be lying there or have come out during the pee.

If it is a gunky, more gelatinous substance, then I would recommend to see a vet.
