Keep the frog warm around 78° to 80° at all times. Use paper towels as substrate and.change them daily. Your frog needs a Vet NOW! This is beyond your ability to treat in house. Make sure the UTH is placed on the side of the tank not the bottom. Keep a shallow bowl of clean dechlorinated water in the quarentine tank with the frog and change it daily.


Seek Veterinary assitance immediately. The frog needs antibiotics. keep us posted.
I can do the quarantine tank but the closest herp vt according to what I found on internet is 3 hours away and I am 39 weeks pregnant and cannot make that drive. My husband was just discharged from hospital today after having a shoulder replacement surgery Monday and he can't drive for 6 weeks so I am kind of between a rock and a hard place. What exactly is wrong with him...infection that spread to bone/joints? Do you know what antibiotics I would need? When my bearded dragon got an upper respiratory due to being neglected from a previous owner I couldn't find a vet to treat her and I ended up losing her sadly....I live in the most inconvenient place for owning reptiles and amphibians. No pet stores except petsmart and that 40 min away...only small and large animal vets..no exotics.

How did he get the infection? Or what could have caused it...should I try the bactine and quarantine tank and hope for the best?
