I have NEVER encountered this before (and hope I never have to again!) but by the time I'd returned to it, this very large (about 1/2 my thumb)sized (and Disgusting!) dark, thick maggoty-looking thing was evidently escaping it's intestinal tract

Hi,

I've never heard of anything like that. Offhand it is possible it could have been a liver or intestinal fluke of some sort or maybe a tape worm. I'm not sure. I probably would not worry too much about the guinea pig unless it's been hanging out on the floor where the mice has been seen. I'll see if I can't find any more info and post it here later.
