New Born Pup
My guinea pigs checkers has dental surgury as she was not eating. When under anathesia vet found teeth weren't as bad as first thought and she had a hard bit if food stuck between her teeth and cheek. She kept looking like she was chocking when trying to eat I toke her back to vet and vet has found the hard bit of food removed from her mouth has made a pouch in the cheek. I have been syringe feeding her for 6 days. When she tries to eat she struggled and gets scared and runs off. Sometimes even happens when syringe feeding.
The vet said it may correct itself but if it doesn't it seems like she'll either have to adapt and get used to it or I'll have to put her to sleep.
Has anyone had their guinea pig develop a pouch. Thank you in advance for any replies.
