Mouth sore

[HydrasMom]

Hey I'm a college student and just moved my 7 yr old beardie, Hydra, from where shes been staying at my parents house to my apartment (finally got off campus so I can bring her!) and now she has a very localized sore in her mouth. I think it may be stress induced from the move but that's just a guess. It looks very like a canker sore.

I had a hard time getting her mouth open and taking the picture but I think you can see it pretty well. Its on the inside of her bottom jaw right next to her lips but does not show when her mouth is closed.

She's been eating and drinking normally, i only noticed something was wrong when she was basking in the sun with her mouth hanging open.

Thoughts, suggestions? I'd be grateful for any advice. She's an only child so I've never had to deal with sores or injuries.

(i'm also in the process of looking up herp vets in the area so I'll take her in if it starts getting worse or affecting her eating)

hey I'm sorry I just explored the site some more and realized i probably have this in the wrong spot bc its not 911 but now I dont know how to delete it or move it. Sorry I dont really know forum navigation/etiquette very well, I'm normally a world class lurker so I dont really know my way around this posting business.

If this being here is a problem if someone could tell me how to delete it that would be great... again, sorry for being dumb

Nah, plenty of people post things here that aren't exactly urgent. As for the sore, the picture is gone so I have no clue. Is it still there?

 

[HydrasMom]

Huh I'm seeing the picture...let my try it through another source...

Is it there now?

Yes its there, and oh man that looks nasty, the poor thing.. the best thing is to get the little one to a vet and have them check it out

 

[HydrasMom]

Yeah... I found one and she has an appointment tomorrow. Thanks for the input
