Urgent help needed for Whites Tree Frog!

[Watson]

A few days ago I posted a thread about my whites tree frog not eating well. But he has gotten a lot worse the past few days.

Last night, he tried to throw something up. I'm really not sure what it was, since he hasn't eaten in about a week. It was not liquid, and it never actually came up, but it was pretty nasty looking. I don't have any rocks in his tank, and he hasn't swallowed any of the substrate. So, I know he isn't impacted.

After I he had swallowed back down whatever it was he tried to throw up, I put him in a quarantine tank. Now he looks a little bloated and keeps swallowing. Also, he is blowing bubbles sometimes. I am at a loss here! I'm thinking maybe this is Chytird? His skin does looks a little weird, and he has been shedding a lot. Also, I was thinking maybe the bubbles are from an upper respiratory infection? I'm not sure.

Anyone know what this could be? What should I do? I am at a loss here. Should I go ahead and try the Chyrtird treatment? Or does this not sound like Chytrid?


Please help! Thank you!

I am really sorry to hear about your White's. This does not sound like chytrid. He is very sick. You need to take him to a vet immediately. This is an emergency case. The bubbles sound like mucus build up. He needs a vet now. The skin discoloration is probably due to his illness. They look very poorly when ill. You say he appears bloated? Does it feel like a hard bloat or a soft bloat? He was probably trying to regurgitate his gut. Probably to try and rid himself of what was making him sick. I'm sorry I don't believe there is anything we can do but advise you to seek medical treatment for him. I really wish there was more I could do.

I could not tell you if your frog has Chytrid but posting a pic showing the frogs color, and full body may help someone with this.
Good luck and sorry to hear about your frog's illness.

Don is right. Pic would help a lot. Perhaps someone here has had trouble like this before and can atleast tell you the exact illness ailing your frog.

All right, here are some photos. His skin color is actually looks pretty normal right now. But it was a different story a couple hours ago. He isn't swallowing quite as much; he only did it once while I was taking the photos. He might not look very bloated in these photos, but compared to how skinny he has gotten recently, he looks bloated. He is still shedding a lot. Could this possibly be red leg? I called a herp vet, and he is supposed to call me back me tomorrow (He wasn't in the office today.) I can't afford to have a real appointment though.
Thank you for all the help and replies!
