[AlpacaTalk] Cheek pockets

Rachelle mentioned that one of her alpacas has a cheek pocket that needs
to be massaged and it made me think to ask about this topic. One of my
females apparently has a cheek pocket too. I had the vet do a dental
x-ray on her, she had a tooth filed down a bit, and was given
antibiotics. It seemed to help for a while, but now she is back to
quidding again (chewing wads of hay and spitting them out) and she is
only minimally interested in eating grain. So, does stuff get stuck in
the cheek pocket and cause chewing difficulty? She doesn't appear to
have "lumpy jaw". I'm taking her back for a follow up x-ray and exam
next week.
