What's wrong with my frog?

[Craigthefrog1]

I caught a spotted marsh frog or a leopard frog in my dam which was drying up. I put it into the enclosure with the other 3 frogs I caught. Once they were in, the frogs that were currently in there didn't bother with them. Then I put their dinner in. I put about 20 crickets in as there are 13 frogs. When the crickets jumped near the frog, it shied away under a rock. I could still see it and noticed it's eye. It was bulging and the outside was white. The inside was really cloudy and doesnt look normal. Is the frog blind? And why did it shy from crickets? Please help I am really worried about him. Thnx

Adding a frog to an enclosure directly from the wild without a proper quarantine is very risky to the others frog's health. Need to move frog to a hospital like enclosure where you can observe better and maybe take a picture of eyes. Where symptoms in frog when you introduced it to enclosure or did this developed afterwards?

When I caught the frog I thought there was something wrong with the eyes. But it is only 1 eye the other Is completly normal. Should I get a new tank and remove the wild frogs?
And would you know how I would post photos on this? I have taken the photos and they are on camera roll. Now I just need to get them on here. Thnx

I think u caught a pickerel frog, which is poisonous, so the other frogs avoided it for that reason

I did some research on the pickerel frog and it doesn't look like my frog. I am pretty sure it is a spotted marsh. When I put a new frog in, the others don't bother it. So i don't think that it's a pickerel. Once I figure out how to post a picture, I will post one of his/her eye and it's species. But thnx anyway- I just learned a new species of frog!

see since u said u thought it was a leopard frog I thought that since pickerels look a lot like leopards, u mayve gotten one. I wonder where I can get a pickerel frog from

I had a closer look at him and compared him- I am almost certain he is a spotted marsh.

Post a Picture of the frog and its eyes.
Then maybe we can hep you better.

BTW it is not a good idea to mix different species of frogs in one enclosure.

These were taken a few week ago and he has gone a bit lighter. He is also eating.

It does look like Limnodynastes tasmaniensis, the Spotted Marsh Frog. Another possibility is Limnodynastes fletcheri; the Barking Marsh Frog; but I'm going with the former.

An eye injury that gets a bacterial infection can look cloudy and if advanced could also make eye bulge out beyond normal. Because of infection location, a visit to veterinary is recommended.

It does not matter what is a new frog source; it should always be quarantined before introduced to a vivarium or similar enclosure. Time and money invested in preparing a vivarium is enough reason to do that, even when there are no frogs in it. Good luck !

If I didn't take him/her to the vet would it still survive? is there anything else I can do before looking for veterinary help?

And also pickerel frogs are native to the USA and guessing the OP is not in the USA going by the flag displayed.
