Thinking specifically of MikeJ, but any informed opinion is very welcome:
My children have some guinea pigs, one of which hasn't been well lately. She has a swolen sore on the inside of her cheek. We've had her to the vet: x-rays and anti-biotics. He's sure that its not a problem with her teeth or jaw, but he's not exactly sure what it is. This has been going on for about three weeks now with antibiotics twice a day. It's got worse in the last 10 days or so, with the sore sort of extending out of her mouth and blackening. We have to clean the inside of her cheek with cotton-buds twice a day too to remove food that collects there.
Thing is she doesn't sem to be getting any better. My wife has had bad experiences before with vets not putting enough effort in to anything smaller than a cat or dog.
Does MikeJ or anyone else have any experience of anything similar or any advice to offer?
