My 2 year old female guinea pigs have red-orange liquid around their butts. Do you know what it is? It doesn't look like blood, but I could be wrong.

That could be due to an blood inside the urine and be commonly due to urinary tract (bladder most likely) inflammation/infection. Other differentials could be skin abscesses or blood in the feces. A check up would be ideally needed to confirm clinical suspicion and treat appropriately. Urine analysis may be very useful to detect presence of crystals inside urine. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
