Toad with red leg! Please Help!

[Nenegoba]

Really how would I do that? You think visine would help?

I don't know. Maybe you could ask a vet? I would not use Visine. The medicine is called Chloramphenicol and from what I read has an antibiotic in it. Makes sense since red leg is a bacterial disease... I know this sounds crazy, but maybe you could talk to your doctor and see if they will give you a prescription?

Hello Richard! Did you took frog to veterinary? If so what is outcome? I'm a bit confused here with advice because as far as I know; Red Leg is a bacterial (Gram-) caused disease due to prolonged stress or lacking habitat conditions that debilitate the frogs immune system. Treatment is correcting the cause and maybe antibiotics: How to Care for a Sick Frog with Red Leg Disease: 8 Steps.

Chytridomycosis is an amphibian disease caused by a fungus "Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis that could present itself in cases of Red Leg (frogs immunity is compromised); or not. If so; then veterinary help is usually required since it's deadly too. Good luck !

Hello Carlos I did not take him but I was giving him salt bathes and after 2 weeks the red leg cleared up and now hes all better. I didnt know it was caused by stress and habitat conditions though. Thank you all for your help! Im glad he is better and I will read your care instructions.
