I noticed what looked like a piece of skin hanging out of Pumpkins mouth today in floor time, so I investigated and saw something of a blister or open cut? The camera wouldn’t focus on it so I had to take a photo from far away and zoom and so apologies if it’s not the clearest. What should we do?

It looks like a little sore but is impossible to tell for me. Please see a vet promptly if it gets worse and forms a kind of blister (cheilitis; lip infection) or if the lip is swelling up. Please stop feeding any fruit or tomato for the time being.

Got it. Can I still feed lettuce, cucumber, parsley, and other daily-few times a week veggies?
