    Default sick red eyed tree frog?

    *

    I'm hoping you could give me some advice. *We have had 2 red eyed tree frogs for approx 4 months with no problems. *2 days ago our most active frog began to not wake at all. It was like clock work with it's wake and sleep periods at night prior to this. *I noticed that it has patches on it's back. *Normally it's skin is very clear. *The frog woke today arouns 6pm amd appeared to be wretching. Then went back to sleep. Any thoughts on treatment to get it healthy again? The other frog appears to be fine.
    *
    Thank you for any help you can give!

    The "wretching" was most likely shedding. As for the rest, you'll have to fill out the questionnaire and take some pictures for us to help figure out what is going on.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"
