Help me please! One of my frogs eyes is going white!

[leethefrogman]

I have had my frogs for a while and recently i have noticed that one of my frogs eyes is clouding over. He can still catch his food ok so i dont think it is affecting his vision too much but i dont really know whats wrong and i'd like to help him.

Any suggestions?

It looks a lot like what two of my cuban tree frogs have. (If you look at the pictures in my album you will find pictures of the problem.) I took mine to the vet and she said they have a bacterial infection. Right now my frogs are on"Ciloxan" (Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride) Ophthalmic solution antibacterial agent.

Thanks Julia,

I did see the photos of your sick cubans and thought it looked very similar

Print Julia's post detailing what her vet did and bring that to any local vet. It will help to print a photo of Julia's frog too. Don't tell the vet what to do (they absolutely hate that), just give he/she the materials and let those guide him/her.

This is his eye, I would take him to the Vet but im probably the only person in my town who has frogs so i dont think the vets will know anything

I would greatly appreciate your help

Hi there and welcome to the forum. Where abouts are you in NZ? I can recommend one in CH CH.

I'm from Taupo, not many good frog vets up here. I presume the people on this site will have far more knowledge about frogs than the vets in this region.

But i could be wrong.

Also can anybody identify the breed of this frog. I was told it was a whistling tree frog but i don't know if it is?

Looks like a Whistling tree frog to me. How old is he/she? It looks like an adult to me, I can't tell what sex though from that photo.

Unfortunately you maybe right. I would give your local Vet a try anyway. Ring first and explain the situation. What I did with my Vet was look up information myself and print out my findings. He then gave me what I needed. Maybe someone here will have had the same problem and could help with the type of medication.

This is most likely an infection and so needs to be treated by a vet. Our good friend Ebony may be able to help you find one. Good luck.
