Hello there! It sounds quite worrying to find something unexpected like that from your guinea pig, but let's see what might be going on. What you described could potentially be a prolapsed rectum or uterus, both of which can look like tissue or an "organ" extending from the body. This can commonly occur due to straining from constipation, diarrhea, or reproductive issues.
For now, make sure to gently inspect the area and keep it clean. You can lightly dab it with a soft, damp cloth – use lukewarm water – to remove any dirt. Ensure your guinea pig has plenty of fresh water and is eating a high-fiber diet, including lots of hay, to help with any underlying digestive issues.
Keep a close eye on your guinea pig for signs of pain, reduced appetite, lethargy, or any worsening of the condition. These could be indicators of a more serious issue that needs immediate attention.
To ensure your guinea pig gets the best care, it would be wise to book a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet as soon as possible. They'll be able to assess the situation more accurately and guide you on the next steps. Take care, and I hope your guinea pig feels better soon!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
