    Question Black sore-like dots on my tree frog's side

    Hello, I am new to the forum. Thanks for having me. The last two days I have been concerned about two black, sore-like dots on my tree frogs left side. other than these dots, she seems fine. She hasn't been acting any different, she looks the same and has been eating regularly. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know what this can be? For some reason it is not letting me attached a photo, so I'll just attach a link to the photo if that's okay. You can only see one of the dots because her leg is covering up the other one. If anyone needs me to take any more, please let me know. Thanks so much.

    Yeah, frog forum was hacked, and now the like button is gone, and the photo uploader is messed up. I'll try to get your photo working

    I feed her crickets, you think it was bitten by one? What should I do about it? Will it heal on it's own or do I need to do something about it? I'm worried it will get infected. I'm going to clean her terrarium today, but I hope it's not too late. Thank's for the input and thanks for fixing the picture problem! I really appreciate it.

    Edit: I'm looking at a few other posts about sores and I see a lot of people mentioning neosporin. Would that work for a sore like this?

    You can use Neosporin WITHOUT PAIN RELIEVER. The generic brand works too, just make sure it doesn't have pain reliever.

    That's a pretty large sore and it may be far along in infection, but I'd at least try it. Since the spot is black rather than red, you might want to get a vet involved if possible.

    and yeah, it could be a cricket bite.

    I really hope this is not life threatening. The picture makes it look a lot worse than it is. It's not deep and at a quick glance it just looks like there is some dirt or something on her. How would you suggest I apply Neosporin? She always freaks out any time I even get close to her. As for a vet, I really don't have the money for that. Would a pet store know what to do?

    Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really worried about her.

    A pet store most likely wouldn't, at least not a chain pet store.

    I'd just take a q-tip or something and dab it quickly, maybe while she's asleep.

    It is definitely a sore, not dirt right? I have a frog that has a dark spot which I think is a scar, but it's only a little darker than his skin color and it's certainly not a sore.
