Red Eyed Tree Frog has dark spot that bleeds

[Gomugomuking]

Hello everybody, im harrison, a new owner of two retf's. i got them on friday and they are beautiful. last night (saturday) i stayed up and watched the smaller one climb all around the tank. and i am sure he got a hold of a cricket or two because he looks quite stuffed. any how the other one, the big guy has not moved since i put him in there. i understand that this is normalish and that frogs need some time to adjust to their new home. and each frog is a little different from the next. this morning i was a little worried because both frogs were opening their mouths over and over again. but after some research i figured out that they both were shedding. and the little one did great and climbed around after and went up into his corner where he likes it. however when the big guy was rubbing his skin with his feet i noticed a dark brown/blackish spot on his upper back. i figured it was just dirt so i sprayed him and let it be. well when i got home today it looked to me as the spot might have grown and maybe got darker as well. so i wet a q-tip and tried ever so gently to rub it off. well it didnt rub off like dirt but he did start to bleed out of it. then i noticed a similiar spot on the point by the vent between his back legs. some people say that the black is dead skin? which that makes sense since he was shedding. but he was bleeding from both spots. (very little but still it was blood) i am worried it might be a fungus or infection? i applied some neosporin on the spots with a q-tip. i would say he looks quite a bit skinnier since i got him on friday. anyways what do you think i should do? thank you.

Hi
Welcome to Frog Forum

I'm sorry.........this is a wound.
It is at the very tip of the 'tailbone'.
This could have been caused by pressure against the area too long.
Did the frog get stuck behind something?

You can pull the background out !!!!! IMO - trash it!
They would prefer to sleep on the glass

How were they shipped to you ?

They are VERY susceptible to infections if there is a break in their skin.
This frog needs a vet, and antibiotics to be applied to that spot. Sorry

In the meantime....You could get neosporin ( from a pharmacy) WITHOUT pain reliever.
Pain reliever will kill your frog.
Plain neo will help to begin to heal the area until you can speak to a herp vet.
Apply the neo - very - gently- with a clean Q-tip, while the frog is sleeping.

( you could email this vet? ) you can pay for medication via a credit card- send the photos

You should contact the person you purchased the frog from as well!

The " opening and closing " of their mouths could be shedding ? but could also be the a result of too high a temp and humidity!
They typically shed right when they wake up for the night... you see them wiping their face.

This is shedding:

Seriously, considering separating the frogs ...establish a separate quarantine ( QT) enclosure for each of them:

********************

They can take days to adjust. Cover three sides of the tank with a dark cloth, keep them in a very quiet area.
They should have complete darkness at night.

Don' forget their soaking dish: chin deep/ de-chlorinated water ONLY/ clean the dish daily in hop tap water.
( a ceramic plant saucer or regular saucer ) or any really shallow flat dish- even a sandwich plate will do

Feed them small crickets for now until you know ( by counting crickets) or have witness them eating
They do well with bowl feeding ( do a FF search re bowl feeding )
* see care sheet for calcium and vit supplements

Please keep us posted.
