mouth rot.

dadspets Mar 23, 2008 08:05 PM

I've got a male normal that has been trying to get out of his sweater box all year this year for breeding season. I did not use him because I don't want to produce any normals. I'll have some normals from other cross's. He gave him self a nice lump on his right upper lip. I've been treating it with Betadine/water mix for a week now. The bump seems to be going down slowly but now he's blowing bubbles and opens his mouth for a short period of time after I clean his lip. Is he coming down with r.i. or just a reaction from the medicine and me working with his lip ? I've pulled him from my snake room and put him in my quaratine room. Thanks for the help in advance.

With the bubbles and open mouth it sounds to me like a RI.
