: my iguana (young) I think has mouth rot. It looks a little swollen on the bottom mouth(jaw) on both sides. He is eating fine and I read it could be a vitamin c difficiency. I am giving him extra c now. (not helping) anyone have any suggestions. Does he need antibiotics, if so what kind?

If it's swollen on both sides, it could be the beginning of metabolic bone disease. If it is, he needs more calcium in his diet..does he have access to natural sunlight and/or a UVB light? I recommend a trip to the vet as soon as possible.

What do you feed him?
