    Upon noticing the frog which i'm totally reaming my husband for. I found out that he told her to just overflow the water. With further detail she did state that she over filled the water until it was somewhat clear but it had a film on it. At this point i'm irritated with the both of them and I feel so bad for her that this happened that I broke down and cried this morning. I did try saline solution last night but this morning it looked just the same. My husband said it looks bulged but it doesnt to me. She can still blink it as she would her healthy eye.

    Well that's the problem right there. Fresh water must be provided daily and the dish must be wiped out before placing fresh water in it. You may have to take her to a Vet that specializes in Amphibians because the eye may just be the only sign of infection showing. If she starts to have runny droppings or if its runny with blood in it, it could be Protozoan infection which like the eye will need antibiotics.

    I am aware of that they need fresh water. Other thank the sign of her eye being clouded she is acting normal. She is still eating and able to jump about and isn't showing any signs of lethargy or runny stools or signs of blood. I saw on other sites that methylene blue would work with cloudy eyes do you think this would even help at this point?

    If she is acting strong enough right now, I would take her to a Vet asap, they can give you the right meds to use instead of trying some things. Good luck, beautiful baby BTW!
