@dragonlvr9 Sorry I had to bail shortly after you IMed me (shift ending at work and secuirty doesn't like us sticking around off the clock ) Anyhow, I'm sorry to hear Katie may have mouth rot. Mouth rot is known by the name Stomatitis. Its a bacterial disease that originates in the gums or snout and systematically breaks down tissues in the mouth area. This infection can be fatal so I would certainlh have a vet take a look at katie. Some minoir blackness is fine but if the area is swollen and shows obvious tisue damage or a cottage cheese like texture in the area its important you have this treated. Here are some links so you can learn a little bit about this and how to treat it. Hope all goes well. www.icomm.ca/dragon/mouthrot.htmand also... members.aol.com/msnick1/waterdragons/wdprob.html

Yes I agree with Kiley Check out the links and I would take Katie to the vet and get it check out before it get worse you never know with these lizards they do not show any sighs of being ill till it is sometimes to late. Thats what make a good herp care taker good is there all ways looking and watching there little ones for any sign of illness

This is some things I found on Mouth rot in Water dragons Symptoms of mouth rot include white cheesy (caseous) material found on the gums and teeth. Physical barriers in the vivarium are a good preventative measure. Treatment includes using Neosporin or Polysporin on nose injuries. However, if mouth rot has begun, remove caseous materials with a betadine solution dipped with a cotton swab. Reswab the infected area with betadine and apply an antibiotic cream. Here are some more Mouth Rot (Stomatitis) Mouth rot is probably the worst bacterial infection in reptiles, and unfortunately is the cause of many an animal's loss. Bacteria of the groups Pseudomonas, Aeromonas, and Proteus accumulate in the oral mucous membrane and cause infections, swellings, and a cheesey discharge. Most cases of mouth rot occur after an initial injury to the snout and poor physical condition of the animal. Early stages of mouth rot can be diagnosed if you notice the mucous membranes along the teeth and along the lips show a bright red inflammation. If you suspect your animal is infected, see your vet immediately. Proper diagnosis and treatment is best administered initially by your vet and can usually be continued at home. Well I hope this helps alittle information found at www.lizardheaven.com/health.htm
