Bobble Type Lump On Lip

[brillmini]

Hi
We've noticed the last couple of days fudge has struggled to eat pepper,cucumber broccoli she's fine with coriander, grass, hay kale all the softer foods. I've had a look in her mouth and on her bottom lip is what I can describe as like a bobble pink in colour like her lip. About a week ago she seemed very timid of her sister which was unusual as she's usually the domineering one. Wonder if anyone has any ideas?

Please have her seen by a vet and have her lips, mouth and back teeth thoroughly checked. Weigh her daily at the same time and if necessary, top her up with syringe feed. I would also recommend to much up the pellets for the moment.

Thank you. We are going to pop her to the vets Monday as I hate to think she may be in pain and is struggling to eat her favourite foods. Thanks for your help x

Here is our syringe feeding guide; please don't wait but step in now! Your care in that respect is as important as any medical care. https://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/complete-syringe-feeding-guide.115359/

Just a thougt , are you feeding fruit ? It could be a mouth ulser , and acid fruit may be aggravating it

She doesn't like fruit but they have had a little bit of tomato now and again
