Thank you LunaTheHamster1 and Littlephodopusmom, I really appreciate your replies.

I took Monty to the vet today and the vet gave her a thorough check including teeth and mouth and discovered that Monty has a bacterial infection in her left cheek pouch.

The vet swabbed both Monty's pouches with a q-tip and while the right side pouch was quite full of food and completely odourless, the left pouch was almost empty and had a really bad smell.

The vet cleaned the pouch out and has put Monty on antibiotics.
