Is the white gummy thing from my guinea pig's vagina a worm?

Pet's info: Small Animal | Guinea Pig | Female | unspayed | 1lb

I recently bought a guinea pig from a local pet store. A few minutes ago, i picked her up and noticed something white protruding from her vagina. It has ridges and is made of a gummy-like material. Is it a worm? She also has crust forming from the area where i pulled it.

Thanks for reaching out about Bear. Don't think it is a worm. Could be a vaginal plug. She should be taken back to the store or seen by a veterinarian to look at it. Does she seem uncomfortable or straining? Good luck.
