OMG I ACTUALY NEED HELP HERE......MOUTH ROT

massapeal Jun 06, 2003 01:23 PM

I just got my new female from LLL and I didnt examine her godd for the first week cause she was very stressed out and thin. She has almost all of her toes lobbed off at one point or another I know why to, but I just noticed today after my quarantine should be done that she has MOUTH ROT BAD what can I do. Topical solutions work right like Sodium based antibiodics with Vitamins. Those will work right.

Thanx in advance>>.

Well, go to the pharmacy and buy Betadine, and take a q-tip and put it in the infected zone. Try do it two times a day. It will take a while, but it commonly works fine. If not, you may want to go to the vet. Remember as an advice, do not buy geckos that look skinny. Even though it is not always true, most of skinny geckos at the time of buy them could be sick.

Thanks for the help dude. But I know about how to buy Leos Im not new to this; ) but I never had mouth rot before in any of my herptiles. And I didnt get it from a shop I got it online. Ill take the advice on the rot tho i figgured thats what I needed. But what really sucks is that I found out that she is gravid, I was away when she came in for a few weeks like 3 and she was put in with one of my breeder males before I could tell the person I left them to care for em with not to do it yet. Do you think this would ruin the eggs if not taken care of right?

I know she will eat less when gravid but even less with rot.
