    Re: Sperm Plug in a female?

    I'm not sure, but if it continues, a vet visit may be in order. If it's an infection, you may have to work with the vet (usually means a lot of money) to find out the cause.

    Good Luck!

    Thank you but this is not an infectionious discharge aka pus. It happened around a month ago also and in that time, it has not A) Shown any signs of inflammation B) Shown any signs of infection (smell, redness, discoloration etc etc. and C) It does not look like pus nor does it have the same consistency as pus. This is a yellowish/whitish goo in very small amounts.

    Her anal slit also looks completely healthy her stools are also healthy.

    She has just shed (this morning) so were thinking its either wet shed or semi-disgested aspen.

    Edit: Also since that time she was given a Betadine bath along with being kept on paper towels changed every 3 days.

    Edit 2: After searching for sperm plugs, I came upon on interesting post that Rabernet posted back in 2010

    "Females also secrete some fluids that dry and can be mistaken for sperm plugs, but they do look a little different. I picked up an adult female that another member here passed on at a local pet store, because he thought he popped out some sperm plugs. She went on to lay 11 eggs the next season. "

    Possibility? Remember, the gooey stuff was IN her anal slit and had not fallen out, etc etc. I removed it with tweezers and it was not visible normally unless one pulled the tail back and opened the vent.
