: Cynthia,

: Thank you so much for your response! Sorry that I was not more specific. My glider has a slightly swollen right cheek and her chin also seems a bit swollen.

: This seems to have happened literally overnight. She doesn't seem to be in pain. Her "attitude" and temperment seems very normal. In handling her when we first noticed the puffiness, she's as sweet as ever and does not seem to be bothered at all when I touch her cheek or her chin. She's eating normally and is as active as ever.

: Chris

I would have to agree with Cynthia on this one. Sounds like an abcess to me also. They can turn dangerous very quickly.
Do you have a glider vet yet?
