warm water and a rag and gently break it loose. Dont pull on it let the water disolve it. Depending on how bad may take a little bit to get it off. After dry with a dry rag you can blow dry bottom with a hair dryer. Becareful to use warm setting not hot as it can burn them and dont get it too close to their bums. You can put a little olive oil on after it seems to help with the poo not sticking. I have also fould if I put some electrolyte/vitamin in their water they dont get pasty as easy. Just make sure you keep them clean and they will be fine.
