Help for Grey Tree Frog!

I posted some photos of Houdini, you can see what I'm talking about regarding her eyelids...

That does not look good at all. I hope someone else can verify what I'm telling you to do.

Good luck.

I never use soap to clean her terrarium, use bottled spring water, keep her on zoo med spagnum moss and feed her gut loaded crickets and occasional wax worms..

It doesn't normally happen with grey tree frogs, but sphagnum moss can easily cause impaction if swallowed. I would use eco earth coco fiber instead.

That happened to my old Grey. I had had him for a little over two years and he had NEVER refused food. Then, one day he totally stopped eating. He was acting normal and everything, he just wasn't eating. Unfortunately, he died soon after he stopped eating. I hope things go over better for you and your Grey.

Yeah! I gave Houdini a therapeutic vitamin honey bath and tonight and after that she ate a nice fat wax worm Do you think I should keep bathing her every other day and see if it helps with the cloudy eyelids? I don't know if eating means she is on the mend but I can't thank you enough King Cam for the help! I would still appreciate any comments or suggestions thanks again.. I'll keep n update on how she is doing

Im glad he's eating and I hope he makes it through... but on the care sheet it says they live about 8 years in captivity so if hes already that old I wouldn't think its anything you have done and his age might be creeping up on him.

My seven year old gray did the same and looked like that about 2 weeks before he died( see my signature pic). If a vet is available, go there ASAP. Over the counter treatments don't work. I was recommended a fish antibiotic and the repti-flukers stuff. neither worked.

I, unfortuantley, am a few hours away from a frog vet of any kind so the bug got my little buddy. I hope it doesn't happen to you.

Hey...Sorry I've been a slacker with an update on Houdini but she is fine...She has been eating ever since the vitamin honey bath...a diet of just gut loaded crickets (someone mentioned to me cloudy eyes might be too much fat in her diet, so lay off any kind of worms) She is over 8 years old now, so I'm very attached! I have been hand feeding her with tongs for the past two weeks as she is slower when hunting and often misses. It seems to be working pretty well so far, I was worried she wouldn't adapt from what she knows. I don't know for sure what the life expectancy for a grey tree frog is but I know 8 is getting pretty old. Thanks again Cam for saving Houdini, she is here today because you helped me!!!
