Answer
I am not a veterinarian and can not make a medical diagnosis over the internet. A discharge like this is usually a sign of infection. If so, piggy will need to see a vet and get antibiotics.

Your pig is nearing the age for her first heat, so if she is not already spayed, this could signal that she is reaching sexual maturity (but not physical or emotional maturity). Pigs can be difficult when they are in heat. They may forget potty training, or pick on a person or pet. Spaying will prevent accidental pregnancy and eliminate the risk of uterine cancer or other reproductive tumors.
