I'd be very careful regarding the use of iodine, as I have encountered more than one case of anaphylaxis with the use of such. I have found flushing an infected area with Chlorhexidine, diluted per labeling, and applying silver sulfadine to be highly effective regarding the topical treatment of oral stomatitis.
Also, oral stomatitis is often present as a secondary problem, as stress, incorrect environmental conditions, mal-nutrition or other underlying internal and external pathogen infestations are often the root of oral stomatitis. A review of husbandry practices and nutrition may be in order, as it is rare for healthy specimens being maintained correctly to become symptomatic.
Good luck,
