Problem - Sick frog?

[abacabb]

Originally I had 4 red eyed tree frogs. One of them just wasn't eating and he died. The rest were fine. But now I can notice one of the frogs is getting skinny. I can see his spinal cord and ribs. I saw him eat last night so I know he's eating. Could he have some sort of parasite stealing his nutrients? That's all I can think of because his skin looks completely fine. Other than being really skinny he seems ok.


Any ideas?

What has he been eating and how much? Do you give him his vitamins and supplements stuff. calcium? His color looks fine. Have you seen any poo in the tank to verify hes not spitting his food back up? I know someone who's frog would eat and spit it up like 10 min later.

He's been eating crickets and I use this supplement powder that has calcium, vitamin d, and electrolytes. I also feed him wax worms. I checked to see if he was vomiting and there seemed to be no sign of that. He seems to be pooping just fine.

However I did notice this on his skin just now, you could probably see it in the first picture if you look close. But here it is magnified. It seems to be a white patchy area. Its next to the black dot above the ridge.I'm not sure if this could be something.

This frog definitely needs to see a vet and so do his room mates. I am not sure this guy is going to make it, he is dangerously thin. I have no clue why he is sick. You should read the care article make sure you have all the correct husbandry protocols. Correct anything that is wrong, then see the vet.

I have no explanation for this. But he seems fine now.

I just realized that I did differently. Yesterday I moved the frogs into a cooler room. The room they were at had soared up to 88 degrees the day before yesterday. I saw the frogs sweating so I moved them yesterday morning. I'm thinking that the heat caused the frog to not retain water so well, thus causing him to sweat profusely which lead to him getting skinny.

Is that a possibility?

I would find the worms right when the frog poops. I would see the worms moving around very energetically. Now he seems perfectly fine. He gained all of his weight back and now I have yet to find anymore worms.

All I did so far was treat it with pedialyte.
