whites tree frog discolored spot

Hows he doing? I had a couple ideas:

maybe he got wedged somewhere and got a tiny abrasion that was a thin line so you couldnt see it weel, then eventually the bruising showed up- its happened before but i am just throwing out possibilities to get you thinking?

possibly a fungus or infection?

also maybe a chemical or cleaner?

let us know how he does

Thank you for your reply. I have only had them for 3 months. I have not used any chemical cleaners recently. fungus infection or infection of any kind is a real possibility. Im not thinking abrasion as they sleep in cork tubes and have plenty of space in them, the diameter is larger than their bodies. But a bite is a possibility as well. I noticed the other day that some crickets had found a way behind the background. I just hate crickets but these hungry frogs have eaten all of my dubias of the size they should eat. I started crickets as well to let the roaches grow. So a bite from a cricket that got infected is possible as well.

I breed a ton of insects for my chameleons so these guys eat a wide variety, they get silks, horns, isopods, roaches, crickets, flies, phoenix worms, you name it. I even tried giving them a snail since I started breeding those, but they spit it out.

Hello,

Well McFly seems to be doing ok. He ate plenty last night and was as active as usual. I am waiting to hear from Dr. Frye. Here is how he is looking this morning. It really does look like a bite or injury of some type.

Oh ! He does look better !
Good for you !
Looks like something going on over the R eye in this current photo ?
I noticed that in post #4 also.... a discoloration.
You might send this update to Dr Frye.
One needs to be especially careful when treating the skin near their eyes.

There are some medication that should be kept on hand at all times, Dr Frye can tell you all about it.

Thank you. Yes there is something on the left and also over his right eye. I did send the Dr an update this morning. He is acting fine so I am hopeful that he will be strong and recover quickly.

THIS LOOKS NASTY. EWWW! Hope he gets better.

I heard back from Dr. Frye He suggested Silversulfadiazene Ointment and Baytril topically. I am having the meds sent overnight so we will begin treatment tomorrow. I will update with his progress. Thank you for the help.
