Hi.

This is not my frog, is from an user in a spanish tropical fish forum....nobody knows what happends to his frog, and he can't go to a vet (He says that there are not exotic animal veterinarians where he lives)

This is his frog (Albahaca):

He also have said that he had another frog (René) which died some months ago which had red spots and something like ulcers (Red leg?)

This is René before she died:

Some idea?

"Hobbyists can obtain antibiotics from the pet shop such as Maracyn II® and Maracyn Plus® which are used for Bacterial infections. These can be used in conjunction with salt."

I would also consider the environmental conditions the frogs are in as well. If the frog is kept in poor conditions then bacterial infection will rear it's ugly head again and again and again.

The second image does look like a fungal infection or red leg. Again this is usually due to the frogs being kept improperly and in poor conditions.

Prevention is the best cure.

Thanks.

I have asked him two minutes ago about how he keeps them (Food, aquarium, parametre...) and if he has others kind of animals with them.

Do aquatic frogs need a specific PH? Like fishes?

Again: thanks.

They prefer slightly alkaline conditions ph 7.2 to 7.4 but they will do fine in any ph from 6 to 8.
