George has some food around his mouth because it gets stuck there while he eats!I try to take it of but George keeps fussing!
His breath doesn't smell although.I really want to take it of any suggestions?
I don't want to take him to the vet because it's no big deal!
It's just a little bit of food!
 
Does he not sort it out on his own? If its there WHILE he's eating, I'm sure if you left him he'd sort it out.
 
Try to wipe it off gently with a damp cloth - it's not unusual to have a dirty mouth, but leftovers get often licked off by the companion piggy!
 
Wipe it off with your finger but don't get bitten.
What sort of food gets stuck?
Are you sure it is food and not a scab?
