A few weeks ago I noticed Bubbas had some swelling around/near his nose. It went away after a couple days so I figured maybe he just got into a scrap with my other male. Now it looks like its a little puffy again. I haven't found any info on a puffy snout/muzzle just on swollen cheeks when it seems to be a tooth abscess. I will take him to the vet but I was wondering if anyone has any info or experience with this type of swelling. He won't let me get a pic of it :( but again, its not his cheek, its his muzzle area right by his nose. Other than that, he is acting normal, eating his food and drinking water.

I found this site when a friend has a sugar glider with something swollen on the top of its nose area. It turned out to be a mini tumor, which is also on this site.

I hope it helps you! Please lemme know if your suggie feels better.
