Sick Tree Frog

[Paul Rust]

Off to the vet with it. That doesn't look good.

Could be severe ulceration but that's just a guess. In any case, the others are right - you need a vet in order to treat this problem.

Well, I've decided to send one frog in and get 2 times the meds... I can't really afford $90 + medicine for 2 frogs at the moment, but one is cheaper. Besides, I surmise that they have the same issue. I'll let you know what happens...

[Ebony]

Hows it looking now as its been about a week. Good luck at the vet

[Kaddock]

Not much worse, but definitely no better. I'm pretty sure they are both still eating. We shall see...

[Ebony]

Im glad it's not worse. Let us know how you get on. Good Luck.

The doctor said that she didn't know what the problem was, but gave me anti biotics and also said that their bones were very soft, so I've been offering them meal worms as a supplement to the crickets now.

Well, I'm pretty sure that nothing has changed for the better. The meds don't seem to have helped one bit. At this point I'm thinking that the only loose variable in their tank (ie item which didn't say it was safe for frogs) is the plant that I got at the dept. store. I am going to clean their cage today, and replace the plant with another silk one.

So... Now they will have coconut fiber on the bottom, coated with live "frog moss" a wooden log thing and serious amounts of silk plants! I'm also going to get them a better water dish today. I really don't see what could be going wrong.

I guess I will continue with the anti biotics (the vet said seven days, should I stop???). But after that I don't know what to do for my little buddies besides feed them, clean their cage, and provide detoxed water.
