    Plug of some sort

    I found this plug with a female who has had a male accessing her for a month. This plug was still moist but pinkish-red tint to it and it smells kinda rotten. Its very stinky and I looked at her opening and there is no discharge or smell from her. Any ideas is it a heat plug or breeding plug??
