This also happened to my JFBN, i was told it could be mouthrot.
if it is mouthrot ive been told it can be treated with melafix.

I have found a successful treatment for this ailment. Use an eyedropper and drop some salty water into the mouth. A few drops should be enough. You may need to repeat the treatment daily.
