A vet appointment question.

My Grey Tree Frog has an appointment Thursday and what is it like? What do they do to the frog? Sorry just kind of nervous. I never had to take him to a vet.

Hi Jessica:

Your vet will do his/her best to give your frog the best treatment possible. Unfortunately, vets don't get a lot of frog visits. Take a fecal sample if possible, this will help determine any internal parasites. Also, provide a list of all the details concerning skin discoloration, unusual spots, cloudy eyes and unusual behavior (head tilting, poor swimming, "laziness", poor appetite, etc), if any of these apply. Don't worry!

I filled out the "trouble in the enclosure" survey and brought that with me. And a poo sample. They weighed her but handled her as little as possible and when the doc did he was pretty gentle with her, despite her continuous trying to run movement.

Okay thanks guys. he pooped today so I took in and put it in a container to take with me. The only problem he seems to have is the lump. he was being lazy more than usual yesterday but now he is hopping around a little bit. he still baths himself every night but he doesn't whip his face since he got it and doesn't chirp since he got it.

i dont think you need a fecal sample for the BUMP.

What if its some sort of worm under the skin? Or some sort of infection? Well i'm bringing a poo sample just in case. Does it have to be fresh poo?
