Thread: Open leg wound

  1. #1

    Default Open leg wound

    My White's Tree Frog, Jordy, has a section on his hind leg that the skin has peeled off. I am not sure what caused it. There was a cricket left in its cage from the previous day. I am usually really careful about getting any uneaten crickets out of its cage and back into their cricket keeper. Jordy hasn't eaten anything since Monday. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Ooh, that's nasty. Poor frog. The most likely thing is he could have sliced himself on something in the tank. You can apply some antibiotic ointment like Neosporin (WITHOUT PAINKILLER).

    A lfar less likely cause is red-leg. Not eating, lethargy are signs of the fungus (but it's hard to know for sure because it could just be a normal cut that got infected and he's not feeling well enough to eat.) IF it looks like his other leg has noticeable veins, redness, or any sores it's most likely redleg.
