Kidney disease often causes mouth sores. It's one way it winds up spotted to be tested for.
We have also had some sort of ascending GI infection (cause never determined) here a couple of years ago (or maybe 3 years ago?) which caused mouth and throat sores in ferrets. Using regular Listerine on a swab helped them heal and also seemed to give the ferrets some comfort for a short while after application. When our vet told us about that trick I doubted that it would work, but it really did. The worst affected one, Sherman, also had IBD and had to be placed on an incredible cocktail of meds:

to get through it, but he did. (The Florinef was due to bilateral adrenal loss, one (R) to standard benign adrenal disease and one (L) to vascular malformations that were threatening to burst and left him with at least a half dozen hemaclips.)
