White fecal matter

Question
HI, my daughters guinea pig Speedy has been having really smelling white pasty stuff coming out of his anus.  He does poop normally though.  Is this a cause for concern?

Thank You!  Julie

Answer
Julie,

I can't find anything on it, the best advice I can give you is to watch Speedy and make sure there is no more smelling white pasty stuff then there is now, that he keeps pooping normal, and that he keeps acting normal. Once that changes take him to the vet.

You can also take him to the vet soon and have him checked out.

Other then that I couldn't tell you, as I have never seen this or dealt with it personally and can't find anything concerning it.  

Good Luck to you and I hope everything is well with Speedy. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Take Care,
   Jules
