I recently acquired a 2mo old potbelly pig. Female. Today she urinated and along with that was a white substance. Looks kind of like slime my kids play with but in a line. Is this normal? Her fecal matter is free of worms. She has had 2 deworming injections to date. This isn’t a parasite. Literally just some kind of goop. Any advice would be appreciated, and I thank y’all in advance!

It is likely normal. Hormones can cause mucus discharges. Often seen when a pig comes into heat, before labor, after labor, after mating, etc. There are some serious issues it could be give those do not normally effect young gilts. If she does not seem to be in pain, is eating normally and has a normal temperature I wouldn't worry.

Thank you! She’s def acting normal, good appetite for both her feed and water. Has good energy level; gets the zoomies and flys around as if she is wearing a superhero cape lol. No signs of elevated temp or any overheating. I’m still keeping an eye on her though.
