URGENT! Sick Whites Tree Frog (Pictures included)

[GrifTheGreat]

Introducing a wild-caught frog to a captive bred frog is always dangerous, because they can carry diseases (such as Chytrid and Redleg).

Answer the questions from Trouble in the Enclosure like Lynn said. But a trip to the vet is your best call right now.

So Sorry for your loss

It is never recommended and often toxic to co-habitate different types of frogs in one terrarium. I would keep them in seperate homes to reduce any toxins from one getting the other sick. This might have been what happened. Just because the get along doesnt mean they are safe to be together. Just to keep in mind if you get another frog of a different time.

I'm going through the same thing. Look for my post titled "frustrated". Please take your frog to a vet and have it looked at. I was hesitant to do so because one day she was lethargic and not herself and the next she was fine. Eventually she started "convulsing". The vet did a thorough exam and she does have a bacterial infection along with pinworms and roundworms. She needs to be on antibiotics for the next 10 days. It's a slow healing process but she's going to be okay. The sooner you get your frog checked out the less it will suffer and the sooner it will get better.

I know you go through the whole "it's only a FROG" I have to take it a vet? But in deciding to keep them as pets it's our responsibility to look out for their well being. They are not "disposable" pets like fish (although I've recently heard of people taking their fish to the vet).

The frog died =( I was just commenting that another frog joins the family not to mix them in the same home =/
