RETF_Unknown Dermatitis (Very horrible !!!) Can anyone tell me what is this?

[wkcheng2]

A new RETF imported from US. Serious dermatitis outbreak after several day. Very high mortality.

1) Can any people tell me or guess what is this?

2) Is that some kind of Mycotic Dermatitis? I don't think it is red leg syndrome!

3) Any treatment? e.g Baytril


Red spots were found on ventral skin


(after few days)


2 days later

Oh... poor babe!
I have no idea what this is... link to first aid treatments:

This frog needs a vet asap, and maybe you can bring this sheet on first aid meds above in case the vet has never treated amphibians.
Unfortunately Dr. Frye can not ship meds out of the US.
Good luck

Oh wow! I honestly have never seen anything like this in my experience in taking care of my own frogs, though I think I may remember something from class years ago. Have you contacted a vet?

Good luck with your baby!

? Maybe ranavirus infection ?

I am not sure, but it reminds me of this disease I studied in biology years ago. The hemorrhagic lesions are quite common with ranavirus.

Please let me know what you find out.

It also looks a lot like a severe fungal infection ?
