Hello everyone.
I walked by my cage last night before i went to bed and I looked at my one guinea pig. He is a short haired guinea pig and is black and white.
He has a pink mouth.
The weird thing is, is that when i walked by, I saw he had this big white looking thing on his bottom left on his right side. I saw him this morning and afternoon and there was nothing like this so i am rather confused because at first i thought it was him drooling on his fleece blanket and it dried on his lip. however i tried to get it off with one of his sticks and it wouldn't come off. he didn't seem to be in pain. he just chewed on it like he normally does
I was just trying to get an idea because I have an exam tomorrow and cannot take the poor guy to the vet if it is something serious. I can't exactly get a photo now because my camera is dead.
It is rather huge. it literally takes up his whole mouth and is a whitish yellow.
although i looked on the guinealynx site and it doesn't look like that. and is only on the bottom lip, not the top. it looks crusty, but it is slimy.
lately he has been very fiesty. he has been chewing up his wood cabin, wood sticks he usually never chews, and just nipped me (he usually never bites. this was just a nibble that meant put me down, which is not normal).
if anyone could give me an idea just so i know what i might be looking at and see if i should really not be studying for my exam and seeing some medical help immediately.
