My crestie has mouth rot. What do I do? It's not bad... but I don't want it to get worse. It started out as just a bump but last night it was caved in and red. It looks like it would hurt! I could not remeber what to do about mouth rot- mainly because none of my animals have ever had mouth rot! I hope someone can give me some good advice so she is not in pain and so I can make it go away! Please help! Thanx!

I've never heard of Crested Geckos getting mouthrot, but I guess it could be. I would be inclined to think that it's actually an injury that got infected, but since I don't know the history of the animal, that's just speculation.
Bottom line, if it's mouth is caved in and red, I'd be willing to bet that the gecko needs to be treated with antibiotics, so taking it to a vet is your only option.
