About 10 days ago, we noticed our 5 year old frog was developing a cloudy left eye. We did some water changes, and then eventually completely cleaned the tank. Nobody else (4 other frogs in the tank) have developed the eye problem. We took him to the vet, who prescribed eye drops of GENTAMICIN SULFATE, to be applied twice daily. It's been 5 days, and the frog's eye is getting cloudier - I think it is far worse. He doesn't like the drops either, and will do backflips to get away from it, which is not usual for him because he loves to be held and doesn't usually behave like this.

He is still eating, and still very active. I believe he can still see out of that eye, but I am not sure how well.

My 9 year old loves this frog, she has been hysterical since he got sick and quite frankly, I love this frog too - I can't bear the idea that he might either be permanently blind, or worse, may die. Neither one of us has slept well in the past 10 days, and I am afraid to look in the tank, lest I find him dead.

Anyone know what this is and how to treat it???? The vet wasn't sure what it was, what caused it, etc. We have well water (naturally soft, no filters or additives), and a charcoal filter in the tank. Tank is sterilized bi monthly, with weekly water changes and scrubbing down of all the plants, etc. in the tank (either in a weak bleach-water solution, or just with hot water and scrubbing). The only other problem we've had is this same frog was spinning a lot several months ago, but that behaviour stopped once I introduced the bleaching, etc. of the tank. Prior to that, we just used hot water in the tank for cleaning, plus the charcoal filter. THis frog eats about 2-3 crickets every other day, we feed the crickets the calcium-enriched cricket food, plus the calcium enriched gel. He occasionally gets some small mealworms, not often. We also do powder the crickets with calcium powder, although not every time. THe powder gets everywhere (he looks like he's just eaten a powdered donut, with white stuff all over his nose) and I think the gut loading of the crickets is likely more useful anyway.
