    Default Sick Frog please help!!

    I have a 3 year old Xenopus tropicalis and in the past few days its become quite sick. Its refused to eat for around 5 days. It will try to get out of the tank regularly which is abnormal for it. Today, its skin is wrinkly and looks like its covered in white film. I'm so so concerned and worried that is showing signs of chytrid fungus. I need to do everything I can to nurse it back to health. Where should I start and what would be the course of action?? I know I should isolate it for now. I'm waiting for water to warm up to the right temperature in a separate bucket at the moment. Is there medications or anything I can give it??

    If it is a fungus, it should be treated ASAP. Maroxy or Methylene Blue may work, and are usually available in fish stores. If it is chytrid, there is a treatment that is somewhat more complicated, you should be able to find specifics searching online.
    You should also check your water chemistry.
