help

Are you serious? do you really expect anyone here to be able (or willing, for that matter) to help you when all you have to say for yourself is "mouthrot,help" ?

Bigger problem..
You need to give a detailed description (no covering anything you know is wrong) of your animal, its caging, environment, temps, substrate, etc. Pictures are very helpful, lots of them from the animal and its cage.
Next you need to see a vet to fix the mouth rot which is a severe secondary infection on an animal with no way to defend itself from normal simple bacteria around it from being kept in horrible conditions.
The animals environemt will need a complete change most probably.

thanks, the other guy just rubbed me the wrong way, i am going to vet tommorow, thanks ,carl,i have never had tis prob. i have a healthy ornate nile that is at 4.5 no problems, thanks , alligator jones, aka carl

thanks for the input, i will indeed have the lizard treated by the vet.
thanks

Good stuff.

By all means, feel free to come back and post some pics of your lil dragon- always enjoyed by the populous

thanks brother, i will let you know how things pan out, later,c

seeing that temps are THE most important aspect of husbandry, and you still have yet to mention them, i would say that those are your problem.

no vet visit is going to help when the animals are kept with poor temps.

basking should be 130F , especially with resp/mouth issues, and daytime ambient should be low to mid 80's. with a sick monitor, i wouldn't drop night temps much, if at all.

guessing or ignoring temps results in sick and dead monitors. get a temp gun, it will change your world, and results.
