    Default Sick Green Frog

    My 3 month old green frog has developed 3 milky bubble looking things that are about a millimeter. They are on on it's upper back. The frog also seems to be lethargic and sits with it's eyes 1/4 submerged under water. It would be great if anyone could identify this, thanks.

    We will need more info about everything. Substrate, food, water, ect.

    Also a picture or two might be helpful.

    Hope it just a slight irritation and not some parasitic worms that could require a visit to veterinary for removal . Please answer these questions and do include a picture of your frog "pimples." Thank you !

    Hi
    The photos and other information are important.

    It could be small puncture wounds
    or
    it could be parasites under the skin

    ( I am on my way to work and should have left 5 minutes ago)

    in the meantime please, PM Carlos or FF search for the instructions for the plain pedialyte soak - to help w/ the lethergy

    Start looking a herp vet in your area-- I think you may need to take him !

    I'll check back as soon as I can
