My new young female goo in her part of the cage (sectioned off for introductions) I've found white dry stuff (there's cardboard in there so they can't get at eachother down the sides).. it's like splattered and then I found a blob of white stuff? I'm guessing it's coming out of her nose? She's not been sneezing or anything though or coughing or acting odd.. she's had a little run in with my aggressive goo through the bars so has a cut above her nose and on her toe...
What could it be? Is it anything to worry about?

I know hydrated pee can dry white..
But I found a blob of white stuff? As in looked like gunk but pure white?

Very wet and gunky but not like mucus coloured? Literally pure white x

Curious. The only thing I can think of is some wee very high in calcium, but I don't think it would be a blob.

Mucus would be yellowy wouldn't it?

You got her from the store, right? Insist they let you take her to the vet again, if you have any worries at all about her.

Burst abscess pus?
Does it have any smell?

Burst abscess pus? Does it have any smell? No I virtually put my nose on it. No smell whatsoever. |

It's literally pure white. Imagine a soft mint that's been chewed LOADS and has gone really limp and liquidy and wet.

weird. could it possibly be something from the cage that she chewed and chewed beyond recognition and then spit out? something paper or cloth, or was there glue on cardboard that she tasted, or anything like that?
If it was mucous or pus or something like that, I'd imagine it would have a pretty distinctive smell.

A little bit of dried glue may have been clear or nearly clear on the cardboard, but when re-wetted and chewed up, could end up soft and white.
So strange, wonder what it will turn out to be?

Well the cardboard I've used is the cardboard from the carry thing that small animals come in? Well two.. so I doubt they'd use glue on that.. Everything else in the cage has been with my other goos.. all natural stuff like branches and twigs or wooden stuff that's like bolted together rather than glued? |

Really difficult to figure out what it might be. I know you've not had her long so won't know her typical behaviors, but is she lethargic, or strangely hyper, or anything that makes you think things are off? For the time being, I think you just keep a close eye on her, look for anymore of the gooey white stuff, and if you do find more, put it in a sealed container or baggy and give it to your vet.
