Mouth rot is a fairly common condition that occurs in reptiles including snakes, lizards and even Red-Eared Sliders. If your Red-Eared Slider has been diagnosed with mouth rot ask your vet about a treatment plan. Treatment may begin with determining the primary cause of the infection. Most mouth rot cases are a secondary illness and occur as a result of trauma, stress, environment, poor nutrition, etc. The primary cause will be treated first to prevent further infection. If the cause is due to poor nutrition or poor environment then your vet may suggest a change in diet and feeding routine plus an adjustment to the living environment (i.e. warming or cooling the temperature). This will help your Red-Eared Slider heal.
