Please help me maybe I can cure this myself?

Answer
Hey there, betadine or peroxide solution is typically used to treat infecitons on the body but ingesting it can cause serious problems. Mouth Rot is typically an infection that has to be treated with antibiotics. The kind you should only be able to get from a vet. It may cost a pretty penny but it is also your only option. Call your vet, I hope it all works out!
