    I think it depends on how bad the frog has the virus, and the reason why I stated it could possibly be ranavirus is because soars is one of the symptoms of it. Hope your frog is doing better though.

    Want to mention:

    If someone should suspect ranavirus or Chytrid fungus .......it can be tested.
    This is a very simple process.

    Many private collectors do this with all new frogs, regardless of obvious symptoms.

    All WC (wild caught) frogs should be tested as research shows that ranavirus can rapidly infect and cause disease in multiple amphibian species when introducing a WC amphibian to a private collection.

    Of course , isolation of any sick frog and QT of all new introductions is , as always , extremely important.
    This is very basic good husbandry. Sadly, this is too often overlooked. These good practices are often ignored, even deliberately disregard as unnecessary.
