Is the white gummy thing from my guinea pig's vagina a worm?

Thanks for reaching out about Bear. If she is doing well, eating and active, probably not. Young female guinea pigs will often pass a single mucous plug from the vaginal vault, but only once. Monitor her, but schedule a veterinary visit if you are concerned. Good luck.

I am sorry to hear about Teddy. We do not commonly see intestinal worms in guinea pigs. We do, however, sometimes see maggots, or fly larvae if a guinea pig's bottom/rectal area is soiled, so if the worms you are seeing seem to be stuck to the skin around the anal area I would be concerned about this possibility. I would recommend an examination by a veterinarian to determine what parasite you are seeing. A photo of the area may help us determine what you may be seeing in your guinea pig.

Hello. I have never heard of a pregnant guinea allowing herself to be mated. I suspect that was not pregnant. The white "plug" you saw coming from her vulva was probably the male's semen. This means she is probably pregnant now and will deliver pups in 9-10 weeks.

Hello there, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The growth you pictured is rather large, and considering its location, I do recommend having Glottis examined by a veterinarian to determine if it could potentially obstruct his urination. Cauliflower-like lesions are usually papillomas - a type of growth that can pop up on the mucous membranes and genitals and is generally caused by a virus. While the virus itself is usually not life-threatening, the growths it causes can be a nuisance. This would make sense since his cagemate also now has similar symptoms and these viruses can be contagious. There is no treatment for papilloma virus, but unruly growths may be removed by a veterinarian (though they do have the potential to grow back). There is also the potential that the growth is not a papilloma but a malignant tumor, but less likely as his cagemate has the same thing. As long as Glottis is still urinating currently, this is probably not an emergency, but I strongly suggest having him evaluated as soon as possible to prevent future issues. Good luck, and I hope that your piggies stay happy and healthy!

This could be a malformed baby in the afterbirth or a mummified baby. As long as your Copiyo feels good, eats, drinks and appears lively, you don't have to worry. Should she appear I'll, she needs to be seen by a vet.

Thanks for reaching out about Sprou and including pictures. By the history and pictures, the most likely answer is a dermal (sebaceous) cyst. This condition is very common in middle aged guinea pigs. Keeping it clean as you did, is a good start. Clipping the hair around the edges to prevent further contamination is important. Ideally a veterinarian should be seen to have the cyst surgically removed, else it is likely to come back, over and over. Secondary infections of the open wound are also possible. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Teddy and including photos. This could be a sebaceous cyst or abscess. For now, wash the lesions with a mild soap, such as Johnson Baby Shampoo or Dawn dishsoap. If the lesion continue to grow or appears to be bothering Teddy, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
