Was having a check over my guys today and I found some white gunky stuff in Jacks butt. Not sure what you call it but its the sack part that can get impacted. He's not impacted and he's only 5 months old so I was wondering what would be best to clean it with? Bearing in mind he hates being manhandled and I'd probably have to get someone to hold him still for me to be able to do the cleaning. Anyone got any ideas?
Had another question, I just want to check that swarfega is ok to use on their grease glands, thought I'd heard it mentioned but wasn't sure. What else could be used to clean it up?
Duh, have just read the post entitled swarfega so guess you can ignore the second question.
 
Did that white gunky stuff stink?
we did the one that has an impacted bum again today and OMG phew the smell :o

I don't think it stank but then I have a really blocked nose and can't smell a thing at the minute.

Is Jack in with another boar? My pig Hurley had gunky white stuff on his bum and it was, erm.... stuff left from being humped by Hugo
 
It's called secum and is a normal but incredibly smelly substance that lines the sac :)
