infections

I really need help with my water dragon. It has a really wierd thing-well, I think it's an infection-on either side ot it's mouth. They're kinda like black bumps, and I also noticed that he hasn't been eating hiss mealworms and crickets lately... . I really need help, it's been about 5 months since I bought him, and i've never seen this type of...thing...before.

You need to get him to a vet. Sounds like he may have the start of mouth rot and is going to need antibiotics. What color are his gums? Do the black bumps move (like little bugs)? Do you have a picture of it? Water dragons are prone to mouth rot and snout damage.

Definitely get him to a vet. Mine developed an infection to the mouth (thankfully not mouthrot) and needed a steady treatment of antibiotics and a special diet for awhile to recover.

Only a vet can get you those antibiotics, and it'll be important to know whether it is an infection, mouthrot or some other problem. If he can't eat, that's a really bad thing.
