[QUOTE="Thistles, post: 83835, member: 3949"] Hey, [USER=7767]@L_B[/USER], sorry to hear that your baby has this issue. I can't tell from the photos, but it is possible that she has some sort of fungal or bacterial infection. They can leak white fecal matter (not sure if they're urates or not) from the anus, but that isn't what the pictures looked like to me. I would recommend swabbing the area with either saline or gentian violet dye. Both are gentle on the animal and both will help regardless of whether the problem is fungal or bacterial. Maybe just swab a little salt water on it every day and see how things go. [/QUOTE]
