Brown Stuff Coming Out of Nose and Oddly Colored Poop

[A Guinea Pig]

Hi all!

One of the piggies has some brown discharge coming out of her nose. It looks almost as if she has a little bit of mushed pellets lining her nasal passage.

She also has poop that looks to be two different colors, half yellowish brown, and the other part normal color. The poops are half shaped fine and the other half of the poop is flat on one side. They do have a good consistency to them, smell a bit off, I don’t know if that is related to the first issue though.

I don't know what to do about this, these are the only symptoms such as has. Her weight is stable, and she is acting fine like before.

Thank you in advance!

Hi

It sounds like your piggy has stuck their nose where it shouldn't; perhaps when they were picking up a poo for eating and investigating what was going on down there.

They may also have a minor tummy upset. Hopefully it rights itself on its own but if it is not back to normal by tomorrow on its own, take them off fresh food or a day or two and see how that goes.

Thank you! I will do just that!
