Sorry your frog is not well Kara . Can't tell what is causing discoloration on supraorbital ridge. Has it been steady since you discovered it or is it spreading? Also, notice a reddish discoloration near leg in first pic. Can you tell us about that too?

Recommend take frog to a herp veterinary (Arav or Herp Vet Connection) for a check up. If can't get an appointment soon, try giving frog a 20 minute salt bath couple times a day until you can get frog to vet.

Mix one teaspoon aquarium salt in one gallon 80F dechlorinated tap water and give bath in small critter keeper or plastic bowl with holed up top filled with salt solution to frog's chin depth. Good luck !

it got worse looking, and I put some neosporin on her and quarantined her shes not very happy XD the red spot im unshure of either and she chose to diareah on me last night to gee love you to girl XD cheeky kid. shes been eating fine the coloration was not there the other day when I let out to exersise some w/ sister/brother here is some updated pics


I have a vet appt thus for my service dog and although they are not herp specalists I could probably have them look her over if its still there and if think would help I can give her the salt bath still as well

If diarrhea is present this is starting to sound like parasites and a veterinary visit is needed. If parasites are found on this one; you will need to conduct fecal tests on all frogs and treat as required. Otherwise reinfection is a possibility. The links I posted can help you find herp vet locally. Neosporin should be plain variety without any painkillers.

Was thinking this morning if frog is losing body fluids, a Pedialyte bath is going to help more than a salt bath. To make one, add 10% unflavored Pedialyte (or similar baby electrolyte) to 90% 80F dechlorinated tap, and soak frog for 20 min. Same depth and container info for other bath .

I wanted to give some updates On Bijou She is doing great the Neosporin helped, Sotek is having an odd discoloration so watching her But shes always randomly had it since a baby when shifts to sort of muddy one area would stay green. (But after this im keeping eye on it ) When ive funds Yes I will be investing in the ER kit. But gotta get some commissions incoming to do such. Friend surprised me with a filter pump to put in there water dish and oh good lord the kids LOOOOOVE IT they are constantly in it now XD Silly frogs ! But poops looking less nasty watery now and I thought id share some updates


Bijou yer such a dirty girl miss burrower




Miss Sotek Bein Queen of the tower in her muddy color O-o goof ball

Glad frog is doing better Kara! Usual cause of loose stools are parasites and best way to ID them is through a fecal test. You can get them done locally or contact Dr . Frye for a mail kit; he will also sell meds if needed. Another option is to have a lab do them online: Repti-Labs - Fecal Float Testing. Good luck !
