We bought our daughter a guinea pig for x-mas don't know much about them but this morning we saw a sore on her face below the jaw. My question is how do I treat that or not ?
 
if its on her mouth, it could be shes had too much acidic fruits etc which have made her lips sore. i think you can get treatment for this from www.gorgeousguineas.com but not entirely sure
 
have you got a picture of the sore?
 
I would go to the vets in case its an abscess :) Take a pigture if you can too, that would be helpful :)
 
Mayeb its where shes been scratching at it ?
Have you seen her scratch as it could be mites :-\
