Does this look like the start of mouth rot?

[Xaila]

This girl (Luna) is about 9-10 months old and housed alone in a rack tub on paper towels with dry/moist hides. The warm side is kept close to 90 degrees with high 70s on the low end. She is currently 44 grams, ovulating, and has not wanted to eat much on her own for a few weeks now. I initially thought the loss of interest in food was related to the ovulation, but it's gone on for awhile now. Her weight has been stable around 43-45 grams since December or so.

I've been trying to give her a slurry to get some nutrients into her. Her poops are pretty normal with this and I haven't noticed any regurge or rapid weight loss or anything. This past week her mouth has been looking 'off' though. Her jaw was always very slightly 'off center' from birth but not like that. Her lower lip on one side is noticeably swollen and it actually bled a little bit yesterday when I was feeding her.

Is this possibly mouth rot? The other thing I'm suspecting is she may have been born with mild MBD (which I didn't even know could happen) and it's affecting her again now that she's not been eating well. The soonest vet appointment I could get for her is this Tuesday morning. Is there anything I can do for her mouth in the mean time? I don't want her to be in pain, poor thing.

one of my girls just got over a bout of mouthrot. that definately looks like it to me... be sure to take her to the vet soon! they will clean it and give you antibiotics to treat it (if it is mouthrot, which it looks to be). it could have been caused by a bug biting her gums and opening it to infection (thats what happened with mine).... really all that you can do is keep her comfortable, and try not to irritate her gums or it could cause serious pain to her.

Definitely looks abnormal to me but can't say what it is. My advice would be to get her to a vet ASAP to get a hands on opinion from someone with experience with reptiles.
