Our White's Tree Frog is sick and we don't know how to help him!?

[KristenH]

He is moving around more today. Wanting to climb out like his usual self. But he still hasn't eaten and he's still making the popping noise.

Lisa, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of his tank before my fiance took it apart.

Hi KristenH,

Have you had a chance to get him into a hospital/quarantine tank?

Answers to "trouble in the enclosures" questions
The humidity is too high
No more moss , no more meal worms
Small crickets for now - continue to feed dusted crickets daily for now
I would also move his tank away from the window.
His soaking dish /water needs to be changed every day. De-chlor water only/ or bottled spring water
The water should not go over his chin.
? 3 metal bars that we put across at different angles?
(Could you possibly explain?)

Do you drink your spring water. If not ...........why?

He really needs to go to the vet.
or Call Dr Frye? You would have to call or email him today since his office is closed on Wednesday. You would want to get medication in the mail asap. It's still early enough form him to get medication in the mail today !!!He will likely be able to tell you what the popping sound is. ie respiratory or he has a meal worm stuck in his throat ?? If there is a health reason why you do not drink your spring water - let Dr Frye know about that. Also mention the 'spots' which could be a fungal infection? Email and include those three photos and a description of what is going on. A weight ( in grams) wold be important to Dr Frye as well. Do you have a food scale .

Yes, we drink our water. We pay a premium for our spring water up here in our mountain-side little town. Our water definitely doesn't come from a treatment plant. It is some of the best water you will ever taste. We are getting him into the hospital tank right now.

Oh good ! About the water and the hospital tank.
Sorry for the confusion.
I was thinking about this : (" 5) Spring water from our faucet, but could have been contaminated")

I just emailed Dr. Frye to see what he says.

Oh ! Thank goodness--You are doing the right thing.
Please keep me posted.

It's really busy here today, would it be possible to post/reply here again when you find out what he says ; then PM me when you are able to make the reply. As we are all anxious to hear!

Thanks, Lynn

Dr. Frye said that is sounds like a systemic bacterial infection in his lungs and skin and recommended the medicines, however I am not able to order it because I did not receive my paycheck today and will not until Wednesday now. I found a local vet that can see him tomorrow, but I don't even have the money for that visit either. :-\ I just don't know what to do now...
