    BP's teeth aren't covered by gum?

    Hello,

    I'm new to the forum so I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place. I'm going back and forth on whether my ball has mouth rot. I haven't seen any certain signs, just some blood in her mouth which I wasn't sure whether it was due to my unintentionally hurting her when I opened her mouth or something else, and also I've noticed only the top half or so of her teeth are covered in gum, with the bottom part completely exposed. This doesn't seem normal, could it be due to mouth rot? Her mouth is fairly pink, although it could be pale compared to other BPs. There's bubbles at the very very back of her mouth where the opening of the esophagus should be. Saliva seems pretty normal otherwise. She does wheeze occasionally but she tends to get stuck shed on her nose so it could be that.

    Obviously if things get worse or I see any cottage cheese stuff she'll go to the vet. Just curious what everyone thinks. She's in a 4' x 3' with aspen bedding and is eating.

    Temps: 80 F cool, 95 F hot, although my thermostat is mince so the temps can swing by as much as 5 degrees and the temp gun gives me different readings than my analog thermometers
    Humidity: 55, goes up to 70 when I mist but I'm not doing that at the moment.
