Thanks for your response. The lump seems to be soft, it squishes right into her body when touched (or at least it used to; I have not touched her since the discoloration).

I actually heard back from Dr. Frye, and he advised baytril and silver sulfadiazene; he thought it was an abscess from the picture as well, and I ended up ordering the meds from his office. Now that I have been relieved of way more money than I probably should be, the meds are in the mail heading to me overnight and the fear that I was gonna have to bury a third frog in 9 months (thanks, Petsmart) has now been replaced with hope that my little green friend will be ok after all.

Thanks everyone for your help. I'll try to remember to post here again when shes all better... On a separate note, I have found a web site that sells many of the medicines that Dr. Frye recommends, and that all vet offices absolutely rip you off on. http://www.beardeddragons.co/bearded...te=common/home They have Silver sulfadiazene, baytril, liquid panacur, and some others as well. If you happen to know what the dosage is for your size and type of frog, you can buy the medicine off this site for literally a fraction of the cost and treat the problem yourself. Or you could purchase this stuff and then ask Dr. Frye for advice on how to cut the doses down to acceptable mixtures for treating your animal. Hope this helps everyone.
