Thank you for your question!

All guinea pigs usually have an unusual odor coming from thei rear end somewhat, but if it is to a degree where it is bothering you and rather quite strong, then that would be fixed.

Sprinkle the bottom of the cage with baking powder and enough litter to cover it as well. This should keep the smell from making the cage stink.

Clean your guinea pigs bum with a warm wet wash cloth and get that done well. This should eliminate some of the smell from it's bum.

Keep an eye on your Guinea pig though, considering i do not have enough details about symptoms and so forth, I am unable to make a compelte diagnoses. I suggest talking to a veterinarian over the phone and discuss symptoms and so forth.

Message me again if you have any more concerns.
