Best way to feed with mouth infection?

[Rennie]

I took Mordred to the Vet the other day he was not acting right and because Brumation is just around the corner wanted to check him out he has a good fecal last month he's healthy and has good husbandry but he has a mouth infection we were given meds to give him we have to place food in his mouth he will no longer eat worms or bugs but he loves horn worms and his veggies, what is the best way to feed him with the infection?

You'll want to give soft foods for awhile such as silk worms, BSFL, hornworms are okay too. Avoid bugs that are going to be real crunchy. What did they say the infection was? Mouth Rot or something else? Did they tell you to keep his mouth clean with chlorhexidine rinses?

The Vet said it was malcore spellimg? Hecate some veggies he does not like anymore anymore got tired of getting them since he will not eat them and bugs forget it he will not eat them either horn worms he turned his snot up at

Malcore(?) is the medicine or the mouth disease?

If he's not eating anything then you are going to have to try to syringe feed. Make a slurry and gently squirt it into the side of his mouth and see if he will start licking it off the syringe.

Yes the meds are for the mouth infection he has to take it for 2 weeks

He did eat veggies on his own the other day and we had feed him if he does not eat
