I took on another piggie after losing my 8 week old boy last week. He died from a tumour in his tummy he was born with. Tonight for the first time with Dumbo our new boy i did a full health check including his genitals. I'm certain after looking at pictures they aren't normal. He seems lopsided, he has a penis but with a smaller almost wilted penis, to the side almost wart like. I'm really worried any advice please.
 
I don't have photo book but can email pics to someone to post if possible?
 
He also seems to be the only piggy who wees on me he has done it twice in 10 mins but this was after me holding him very gently upright to check him.
 
Are you able to put a picture on here? Posting pictures has become easier -you can click the upload file button and it will post a pic from your phone or tablet, so you don't need photo bucket any longer. Without a picture no-one will really be able to comment, But if you are concerned we would always recommend taking your piggie to see a vet.
 
Thanks ill try and post a picture I thought u needed photo book but will try and post now x
 
I hope the pic works he definitely seems to want to wee on me constantly he just doesn't seem neat down there like other boars
 
I'm not sure why but my pics won't upload .
 
If you are on facebook or twitter, you can just copy/paste an uploaded picture from there into your post.

If in doubt, please see a vet anyway. It can be an undescended testicle or an abscess, but without a proper check, we won't be able to say.
 
there is a condition called cauliflower penis (frilly willy)that give a warty like appearance, afraid i have only had girls though so i'm not the best to ask-
you can try googling it remember if you have kids to delete the search history... might look a bit odd!

or this was in the forum search box... do they give you any ideas?

Piggy With Claw Like Extra Bit On The End Of His Penis!
or
Swollen Penis Problem
or
guinea pig piles/ abnormal genitalia

you can try PM'ing it to me if that will work or i'll PM my email address for you, or just try a phone or tablet , it should upload from there easily, sometimes mine takes a while to get going but it's normally successful.
Photobucket is free to register with if you need to.

Wiebke & Piggyowner have given you some handy info though

& definitely ... if in doubt see a guinea savvy vet for a proper diagnosis.

Thank you for the replies and the links, I'm now convinced my boy has what is referred to as a frilly willy! From what I've read its the foreskin that can look like this! It certainly looks like a little claw or a tiny cauliflower! Quite alarming to look at! But certainly has put my mind at peace! I still cant post pics I'm not sure why as I'm on a smartphone but it wont upload for some reason as soon as I can ill post a pic though so others can refer back to it for reference :) poor boy he's going to have his bits plastered on the internet!
