My little piggy has gone through alot. I think she's like two months old? Unsure. She's a problematic albino. She had gotten surgery on her eye. And while doing the surgery she was accidentally burnt on her stomach near her vagina. She had since healed from that but it has definitely left a bald patch. Today I had notice this thick layer of crust covering her vagina. I have her a salt wash and let her sit in the salty water for a bit and nothing worked. Although it got rid of a little there was still some on there. Her behaviour hasn't changed so I think she's peeing okay. We struggle financially. I really don't think we can afford a vet visit. So I need your help desperately!! PLEASE!

Hi! Can you please upload a preferably clear picture; it is impossible for us to guess what is going on from your description.
I assume that you have got a so-called lethal baby?

There were two separate threads, one including a photo. I have merged these so they are all in one place. This is why the first post shows a photo which is confusing when you have asked for one

Thank you! I have a very busy time at the moment, so missed the fact that there two threads, especially when they were not in the same section.
It doesn't look poo but more solid and possibly something stuck in the genitalia? Is it stuck to the skin or just firmly lodged in?
To be honest, I have never seen something like this before - and that is after 10 years on some busy forums.

@Emily Mae Is your piggy a lethal?
What surgery did she have on her eye?
Does she have dental issues or missing teeth?
If you have bathed her and cannot remove the lump we can only recommend a vet visit to have to checked/removed.
If money is an issue then you need to speak to all of her caregivers to determine how you can care for her financially. You may be able to save up fo a vet fund, your ver may offer credit or although it will be a hard choice it may be best to rehome her.
It sounds like you may have a lethal pig which can have numerous issues that need treatment by a good guinea pig vet. And as your vet somehow burned her (!) during surgery I don't think the vet you currently use to up to the task.
