Hi,

My guinea pig is currently having a rough time with health problems at the moment. She due in at the vets tomorrow morning for an x-ray on her chest to look for a heart problem. However, this morning I was holding her and I just decided to check her entire body as yesterday she was covered in pee and it stained her belly fur. I noticed that her vulva is crusty and has a weird odour to it (i think it was a smell from her).

Here is an image of it.

Hi

It is just a bit of dried on urine with likely a trace of calcium in it (which is the normal way of excreting any excess calcium). Nothing to worry about. Your girl should clean it off in the next piggy wash. ;)
