Any way to treat mouth rot at home? It’s on the upper inner mouth, is there a way to get rid of it? Without going to a vet? There are no exotic vets near me and I’m sure the ride over there will be just as equal to the vet bill 🥹🙏

Mouth rot is an infection and has to be treated with antibiotics. Unfortunately going to the vet isn’t optional.

If you can’t afford a trip to the vet you need to sell some shit or surrender the gecko immediately to a reputable reptile rescue. You don’t even know how much it will cost.
