    Has he been exposed to any chemicals? High output UV bulbs?

    Has he been eating at all?

    Your veterinary initially prescribed a fungicide, then 2 different antibiotics and none appear to improve your frog's condition. Did the swab analysis provided a clue of what is the pathogen if any?

    Any presence of a virus or unknown pathogen? Have any testing or x-ray being done on the frog's internal organs and their functioning; specially for cancer like growths? I'm sorry you have to consider euthanizing your frog !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Hello, did you or the person who had the frog before feed him many feeder fish like goldfish?

    It might be a stupid question but since neither the antimycotics nor the antibiotics show any improvement, could it be something like a cronical mykobacteriosis which starts to get acute? I haven't heard much about "Frog Tuberculosis" and its symptoms so far, but skin alternations seem to be plausible.

    I know that this is very uncommon, but given the high abundance of the pathogen in ornamental fishes its not impossible that a frog gets infected... I hope it is something else and you dont have to euthanize your frog!
