Thanks for posting it. This is the milky stuff I was talking about.

Yes, it looks like cleaning fluid, as bpatters suggested it might be.

Here's the most recent picture you sent me. Interesting to see holes! I suspect pockets of gas:

Hello everyone. Please let me know what you think of this. Zoe has been having poo like this on and off - with a little hole on some of the poops (or sometimes multiple holes). This happened about two months ago when I first started noticing it. This was even before she went on baytril for a suspected respiratory infection. Any suggestions? Could this be gas in the digestive tract? It doesn't seem like she is in pain. I give her a bit of olive oil which I think helps with possible gas and for me it has worked better than baby gas drops. Her poo was tested about a month ago for parasites, bacteria, etc and nothing was found. She does eat quite a bit of fresh veggies since she doesn't drink water (never has in her 3.5 yeas of life no matter what I do and what bottles/bowls I use for water). But, she eats a good amount of watery veggies to supplement and I also give her a soringe water through out the day. Anyway, any suggestions related to the "holy" poo will be appreciated. Thanks. Lena

It looks like a couple tiny holes are there too. Did you ever see any parasites/worms?

I removed the posts from the other poster that should not have been here (very confusing).

No never seen any parasites or worms. Just those holes. And they are not always there. Sometimes the pops are totally normal, sometimes with holes, sometimes mushy, sometimes like a coffee bean with a line in the middle, sometimes two different intertwining colors in one poo. Don't know what is going on? Bloat? Digestive issue?

I think some variation is normal.

I wonder if there is something I can give her for just in case to "deparasite" her? Is there something I can order online?

I really am not crazy about her vet or the other exotic vet I went to. I learned more about piggies health on this forum and I stabilized my piggy during the past month when she lost 700 g!!! You all have been the most help ever.

I feel like if I take her to the vets again, they will run tests that will not show anything and they don't even know what to give me. If you would recommend that I can order something online and give her a small doze to see if the poo will eventually stop having holes here and there, please let me know. If I absolutely need a prescription, I will have to talk to the vet but I would rather not. Thanks for your help. Lena

The parasite suggestion was a long shot. If you are seeing any signs of mites (read www.guinealynx.info/mites.html ), you could treat for mites which would also treat many internal parasites. It is much more likely this is gas than parasites.
