Sore Patch On Guinea

[Hhelen]

hi all, i’m new to this but have a female guinea who i’ve noticed has a patch by her bum that doesn’t quite look normal.

She’s fine in herself.

I’m not sure if it’s an infected grease gland, or of it’s just something i havent noticed before. Can anyone help please?

I’ve washed it down and taken a picture.

Hi and welcome

Please see a vet. Unfortunately by washing it down you have made a diagnosis much more difficult. It is impossible to say whether it is an infected cyst or gland or a fungal patch.

You wouldn't of known about washing the bottom. That really doesn't look very good.
I would be a good idea to get your piggy to the vets, as soon as possible. If you don't know of a piggiesavvy vet.
