I have what I believe is an older female that I adopted about a year ago. Since then she's gone from a dull orange to a bright deep orange but it seems there is a problem with her eye. And it seems to be worse now.
The membrane only comes down a little more than two-thirds of her eye, not long ago it stayed up but when she blinked a bit it fully came down. I don't know if soil got in her eye or this is related to something else. I have been studying a lot so I haven't kept as close an eye on them. I sometimes put a few extra drops (of Aquatize) in a 3 gallon treated water bucket. I don't know if misting them with a little extra of this in it could do it.
Temp is about 76F, enclosure is 36"L and 18"W. Two adult females, 1 male and 1 small boy/girl.
They are in Ecoearth to. That is the only substrate, not sure if it got in her eyes.
For eye issues the best procedure is to take frog to a herp veterinary. If that option is not available; you can try with some Melafix (fish natural antibiotic from API). Prepare solution according to the label directions and apply with eyedropper to eye several times a day. Good luck !
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
Thanks! I'll head over to Target and get an eye dropper
It actually looks as though there is a reptile/amphibian veterinary in my area. Problem is I'm on a budget and its $60 just for them to look at you. I guess I don't have a whole of choice though.
