Oh phew... I hope she'll be ok. I read posts like that and immediately get scared it's something like Pyo. Crossing fingers that Honeydo's just having a couple bad days and returning to normal soon!

How profuse is the discharge? If you press lighty on her tummy does more stuff ooze out? Any larger than normal discharge is not normal and the sooner she is seen the better her chance of recovery if she does have an infection.
Also having poo around the area is also not at all normal. Personally I would insist the vet sees her to reassure myself.

Take her to the vet. Abnormal behavior, poo and discharge and equal something is wrong with her.

Its in huge blobs and when you press around the area loads comes out, its very thick and like a greeny yellow! My dad has agreed to take her to the vets tomorrow since it has come back within the past hour. She doesnt look in pain and is happily running on her wheel. The area with poo looks all green so i take it that isnt normal?I'll let you know what happens thanks for all the help! x

Yowch, I'm glad your Dad has agreed to take her to the vet tomorrow.
I don't think green poo is normal...

And I hope she recovers quickly, I'm glad she isn't unhappy anyway.

I don't want to say the P word, but she does have an internal infection. Has she eaten anything green in the last 2 days? Mine get green poo when they eat veggies and green foods.

Good luck for the vets, Nat. Hugs to you and Honey-do, glad she feels like herself at least

Yellow/green sounds like a bacterial infection, something mucus-y...
