Well, that little diva Bumpy may be going through another problem again
As you may or may not have known, my adult Green frog (Rana Clamitans) experienced a double case of tetany and giardia, from which she fully recovered from 2 weeks ago. I have her in her 20 gallon, with a proper, Fluval U1 filter, plenty of cover and a background. She is on a diet of crickets, dusted with a calcium mix every other feeding and a multivitaimin mix weekly. She is not accepting any earthworms I offer, unfortunately, and is an extremely skittish frog.
Recently, I spotted an odd, white spot on her back, beside her spine and in the middle, 1/3 or 1/4 the size of a pencil eraser. Bumpy is acting normal, and eating normally, and I have been doing extra water changes. She also has a layer of duckweed in her tank, which I placed in around the time I spotted the white dot. From what I know, dots like these are often the sign of a fungal infection, but I have felt this dot and it feels just like the rest of her skin. This dot has not changed at all for the 3 days I have been monitoring it, so I am unsure what to do.
Unfortunately, I do not have the money to treat a full-scale infection if it requires heavy-duty medications. I have some panacur, unflavored pediaylte, and salt on hand, however.
I can try and get a photo, but Bumpy is an extremely skittish frog, so it will be difficult.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Caspian

I am not an expert by any means but it may also be a tapeworm.
One of my whites had a similar bump on her leg so I took her into the vet and the vet \
used a needle to make a small incision and removed the worm.
But still prescribed a bath of a multi anti parasitic drug every 15 days for 3 times.
you might wan to take her in.
I'll see if I can, but I don't know if I have the money.
Also, it's just a white spot, not a lump. No inflammation or anything.

OK that rules out the worm.
My brownie had a bump.
at first I thought it was a fat deposit.
I wonder what the others would think about using a combo of mela fix and pima fix.
That should take care of any bacterial and fungal issues and be safe for your frog and plants
and wont damage the bacteria culture in your filter.
I have used Melafix for years on my fish and aquatic frogs with no issues.
I think I know where to pick up some melafix, although I'm not sure about pimafix.
I'll do a little research around my local pet stores, see if they have any.
Thanks,

Update: I already have found a very close location that has both Pimafix and Melafix, so there's some good news.

they should have both, if not you can prob order it from amazon pretty cheaply.
I just picked up a 2 zoo med hygrotherm HT-10 controllers for 40 bucks each and a repti fogger for another 40.
Well, I'll try and pick both up ASAP.
Personally, I'm not one for ordering things online. Probably because of bad experiences and hearing about other people's bad experiences with online shopping, I suppose.
