Hiya! :)

Welcome to Frog Forum Becky! Is your frog in any treatment for Popeye? Agree with Kurt and would take frog to Vet for possible internal bacterial eye infection.

I bathe him in Maracyn daily. Otherwise, no. The closest frog vet is about 200 miles away, I checked last night. >_< Bleh. And of course everyone in the pet stores are like "A...frog? With...popeye? Oh, good luck with that... Here try this bird medicine..."
So..I don't know what to do, really. I can't find any online help, nor do I know what other medicines are safe for tree frogs.(Yeah sure...bird medicine..right...) I'm just kinda stuck. Sticky acts normal though. I'm wondering if it's because of his age he's like this. He's got to be at least 7. He was full grown when I caught him. Guess I'll see if the next step up from Maracyn works after this go around. He's not getting any better, but he's not any worse, Praise God.

Thanks for the welcomes.

I bathe him in Maracyn daily...

Maracyn has at least 3 versions that I know of. Maracyn 1 & 2 work against either gram+ or - bacteria; can use both together if unsure bacteria type.

Also, there is also another product called Maracyn Plus that is a broad scope antibiotic against both gram + & - bacteria. I've had great success using it against fish eye infections and is my favorite fish antibiotic (48 years experience with FW & SW fish). Have no first hand experience with frogs diseases yet and do hope it stays that way.

This article has good information: Frog Forum - Basic Frog First Aid .

If you Google "frog eye infection" will get a bunch of results and appears a drug called "Gentocin;" a sterile buffered aqueous solution with 3mg (0.3%) gentamicin (as sulfate Ph. Eur.) and 0.05mg benzalkonium chloride as preservative appears very successful. Only thing is; need to take frog to Vet to get it.

I could always try another version of Maracyn. I almost bought Maracyn 2 but the clerk said it wasn't stronger and I was looking for a slightly stronger antibiotic.

Yeah and the vet thing isn't do-able for me. The nearest herp vet is too far up the road, in a town I've never even HEARD of.
