It seems that I also agree that mouth rot is secondary to another problem. I guess the first question is how did it start? Is the animal wild caught? Has it been acclimated? Wormed?
Is it in a high stress environment. What kind is it, who imported it and how long was it grouped with other males? If it is wild caught and has mouth rot, it should be getting baytril once a day at least. The problem is that the stress from handling may be even worse than the problem. If I did pull it out for treatment, I would give it the shotgun approach. De-worm heavily, give an injectible wide spread antibiotic and scrub the mouth with at least 90% alcahol. It will die or get better. Good luck...Jon
