I had my two guinea pigs out for floor time, in a safe place for them to run around, but one of my little girls just started doing this weird licking thing in her mouth, like a dog would do when you give them peanut butter. I give them salads during floor time generally, so I don't know if its food in her teeth or something more serious.
This just happened a couple of minutes ago, immediate replies would be very helpful. I tried to see if I could "flush it out" by giving her her favorite treats, and she reaches for them but doesn't open her mouth to eat them.
I tried to check what she had in her mouth but with it so small and my fingers so big I can't see or help out. I know it's not an overgrown tooth problem, she just got back from the vet for an all over wellness check a couple days ago who had said her and her sister were as healthy as can be.
I know if its am emergency don't post on this site first, but since it just started, I'm not sure if it'll go away or anyone else had similar problem they were able to resolve it on their own. I'm more than willing to take her to an emergency vet if need be, but it can be resolved at home I would appreciate the advice.
