    Normally too wet and too cold are the conditions that cause mouth rot but normally from a injury to the mouth. It's basically the wound getting infected with bacteria. They have different types of mouth rot too and it'll look like a darkening around the lips/gums. The best way to treat it is to seek a vet. I believe the last time somebody encountered it the oral antibiotics didn't help much so they switched to injections.
