Rewdollphf's Recovery (Agalychnis callidryas)

Nice job! It looks like it's from rubbing it's nose against something hard and gritty, like mesh screen or sandpaper <-(hopefully not!).

What was the time frame between the photos and what treatment did you use?

I really wish I knew what exactly caused it. It's definitely got to be something like rubbing against something, although I still lean towards it just was jumping into the walls. They had no backgrounds on it's tank where I got them, lots of foot traffic/tapping on the glass I'm sure. Definitely not a good mix!! hahahaa

But as far as treatment goes, I'm a big believer in trying to keep everything natural. I tend to stay away from nose rubs/meds unless I notice it gets worse. I've only had it happen maybe 3 times in my years of frog caring.

So I just trust my instincts and try to monitor the frog every chance I get. My "Amphibian Room" is very, very calm and peaceful. Tanks are always clean, so there was no worry of it getting infected. Made sure it ate the right foods, etc. Turned out to be such a great recovery too. Looks healthy as ever right now.

Natural immune systems can be quite effective once you eliminate the source of infection/trauma. I always try to go natural, too.

It's impressive what something as 'simple' as a move to a more appropriate habitat can do. I hope you show the before and after pictures to the pet store and give them a proper scolding on amphibian husbandry.

Do you remember the time frame for the healing?

Again, super job!

Ahh, sorry, Brian. Forgot to answer that.

I want to say it took 2-3 weeks. A month at most. You can actually see a little bit of healing still taking place in that after picture. So it wasn't "fully" healed yet, but very close. Happy to say it's completely healed, and has been since.

Appreciate the kind words guys. And that's a good idea about sending the pictures to them.
