    Default SUPER DUPER URGENT!!! Dark patches on my green tree frog

    He guys, sorry for the yelling in the title but I am stressing out over my female GT frog who has a darkish spot on her back. Her legs also look a little different than usual. She is in a tank with a male GT frog as well who see a fine bit they both have dropped off in weight. If you answer you are taking a huge weight off of my shoulders! Thanks

    She is in a glass tray thing with damp paper town underneath her. Sorry the photos so dark. Will post another in a bit
    do you think its
    A- A fungus infection
    B- Bruising of some kind
    C- An internal parasite
    These are just a few ideas bumping around my mind at the moment. Also if you know of any, could you recommend a frog vet? Thanks once again

    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Looks like a normal WTF to me. Mine change color when the temps drop below 75 degrees.

    Hi,

    Food for thought:

    Please post another photo if available? I guess we could take a closer look at the dark spot; it can't hurt.
    It's probably best to keep their routine as usual as possible as this will help to lessen any stress.

    If you really think they are losing weight, there may be a vet willing to do a fecal study to check for parasites, without having to take the frog in? A 'local sample" is likely best so the sample can be fresh and prepped properly. You want to make sure a vet treats frogs and tests on site.
    There are vets that treat amphibians but not frogs

    In the US many people use vetdna ...and swab a sample for many illnesses.
    This has it's disadvantages regarding parasites, however.

    RAL - Test : Reptile

    Perhaps - vetdna - knows of a similar business in Australia?

    If I were to acquire a wild caught frog, I would do fecals for parasites, plus Ranavirus and Chytrid Fungus swabs.
    There are many different options regarding this. Some people just treat prophylactically.

    You could get a current weight for both frogs. Use a food scale.
    For the sake of thoroughness...their wt can be monitored moving forward.

    Oh and also she is a green tree frog not a white. I have had both for about 1 1/2 years and the previous owners had them for about 5 or so years

    If you are talking about your native Queensland green tree frog then it is a whites. Outside of Australia
    that is what they are called.
