So right now is like 1am where i live so its most likely that animal hospitals are closed right now. Coca was gromming himself till i saw this one part of his fur standing so i decided to check it out and i have no idea what it is. It was red and it had some yellowish white stuff into it too. My dad got a napkin and removed it but I'm really concerned. I might have to wait till tomorrow morning to take him to the vet. What is that he has and how to cure it? The pictures id what i took after my dad removed the yellowish stuff.

Please do have it checked by a vet in the morning.
The yellow/white stuff could potentially be pus but we can only make guesses.
 
Pus is infection.
Wounds can get infected or abscess contain pus but we cant know what is going on in your situation. Only a hands on check by a vet will help
 
Good luck at the vets. I hope it’s something easily fixed. 🤞

Thank you so much. Unfortunately i can barely sleep right now because I'm so worried :(. I really dont want coca to get sick already because its only been 2 weeks, and i dont want to see him suffer. Although hes still eating well, I'm worried to death.
 
Things like abscesses or a burst cyst could cause this and in both cases it is fine to have him seen in the morning.
I know it is difficult but please try not to worry - these things can come up within hours, and it sounds like you noticed it quickly.
A vet will be able to diagnose and treat the problem, so just have him seen as soon as you can.
 
Please do get him to a vet as soon as you can. And unless the vet tells you this was something he had before you got him then please do think very hard about separating him from Mocha. If it’s a wound inflicted by Mocha then they really can’t go back together and will need to be permanently separated.
 
Update: i dont think i can see the vet today. My parents think that its normal to have these kinds of discharges and wait until it gets better or worse. I really dont know what to do. I probably cant make an appointment for today but maybe on Monday if I convince.
 
Are you able to take him yourself? This needs to be checked out and if there is infection he will need to start antibiotics/have pain relief.

Unfortunately i cant drive since I'm underage. I really do want to check him out today but my parents said we have a busy schedule and wont be able to do so. My dad did say Monday is ok for check up though, because I do flexible schedule homeschooling.
 
It really is best to see a vet quickly with these things so any infection and pain is dealt with quickly.
You will need to make sure it is kept clean and any new pus which forms is drained out regularly.

I’m afraid that since you have declared yourself to be underage we have no option but to delete your account. The forum can only be used by members over the age of 18 years. Your account will be anonymised in accordance with our procedures. Terms of Service And Forum Rules
 
Although under 18's can't have accounts don't forget you still have access to all the guides/searching old treads etc.

Also it might be worth getting one of your parents to get an account to get advice on your behalf.

Hope piggies are all well soon
