Mouth ulcers can be cause by the pet putting something caustic in his mouth, trauma or even from some kind of medical condition (i.e. kidney disease). Bee needs to have his mouth fully examined and a complete history to help find out the potential cause here. In general, a mixed dog around this weight should be on an adult brand food and given about 1.5 cups daily. Some good brands to consider are: Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Eukanuba or Purina. I hope that you are able to get Bee's mouth sores/ulcers looked at soon so that you can go over potential treatment options based on the undelrying cause. Best of luck and take care.
