Stomatitis - Mouth rot

Stomatitis is also known as mouth rot. This condition usually occurs because of stress resulting from improper diet, parasites, or injury. The soft tissues in the mouth will be covered in a whitish or gray substance. As the disease progresses, the gums may start to bleed and the teeth may become loose. Beardies with this condition usually have a reduced appetite or may stop eating altogether.

The underlying cause of stomatitis needs to be treated before the condition can effectively be treated. If not, the mouth rot will likely recur sometime in the future. Antibiotics are the main method of treatment.
