Hello. My male gliders has again a swollen cheek. Two years ago he had scratched himself it was treated with antibiotics and drainage. Now its again swollen, I dont know if is a swollen scratch or something else, probability he has had it for two days. Should I worry? He is going to the vet tuesday.

the vet sounds like the right choice. I think I have seen infected tooth as
a big reason for swelling. but the swelling is probably infection and would
then need meds from vet.

I would share a photo here so we can see. Typically such things are tooth related and are pretty bad. They have teeth issues just like we might.
