He looked fine when i moved him into a different viv and i fed them and the next day i saw the swelling, i thought i would have noticed it when i moved him, but maybe i missed it. I saw a pin prick size of what i thought was pus come out at the front of his mouth when i was giving him his antibiotics. I can't tell at the moment whether it is going down or not. I will give it a few more days. I think it has gone done a bit but not sure if i am imagining it. If it is a salivary gland blockage, would the antibiotics clear it?
