False Tomato Frog: "blisters"? on upper eyelids & around nostrils

[Mentat]

If swelling is going down already that is very good news . Your feeding method might work for you; but not all owners can feed a frog throughout the day. I feed darts once and the adult bigger frogs get a meal every couple days and they are all fine and healthy. That happens in nature too since food is not available for hunting all the time .

Update on Pekoe.
his injuries appear to be s-l-o-w-l-y getting a bit of orangey yellow back, but they have not healed to the degree I was hoping for within the week of treatments, they almost seem to now be at a stand still, AND he has not passed any feces in 4 or 5 days.. when he was on the coconut fiber he was going almost every day, but since feeding more, and changing him to paper towel substrate he has only pooped once.. (still urinating daily though) should I stop feeding him until he goes? I worry he will pop seeing at he has eaten between 30 and 40 small-medium crickets since his last poop.

I have checked him for signs of any new blemishes, and felt him for hard spots, but there doesn't appear to be any new issues as of yet, though I wanted to ask for advice BEFORE anything new comes up, just incase.. better safe than sorry, you know?
I also went to a drug store for the Flamazine and they told me I needed a prescription >.< *gurgle* I am guessing that means I need to pay a vet to see him and prescribe it to me. Now I've got to hope that at least one of the few non-exotics vets in the area would be willing to do that. I really hope I can figure this out :/ I am not giving up on him. <3

Here are some pics I took today:

P.S. I have noticed he has small grey speckles under his chin.. which I read females have.. but the second night I had him he sang, which I thought only males did.. so I was wondering if I am wrong to presume "he" is male?

Thanks again for any insight.

Hi Dani! Can't open the last set of pics to see progress. As long as you do not feel a hard lump on his right side, doubt it's impacted. Toad is pooping less, probably because it's not ingesting substrate with crickets. When it comes to chronic issues, frogs and toads take time to recover from them. Do you have a MD in family or a family MD ? If yes; try and show him the thread and ask nicely for a prescription. Who knows, you might get it .

Maybe this one will work? it's just a close up showing his face so you can see the injuries:

And that's a good idea, I had thought of asking, but didn't think they would take me seriously.. maybe if I show this thread it will work ^^ thanks for the idea

Well I went to the health clinic yesterday, and I showed my Nurse Practitioner a picture of Pekoe and explained his condition, as well as the fact that Flamazine could help to heal him.. Sooo she gave me a free sample to use along with some swabs to apply it with . I applied some when I got home, and again twice today, but every time I put it on he wipes his eyes with his hand at least once, and tonight when I put it on I'm pretty sure he did get a bit in his left eye because he started screwing his eyes shut and held them that way for at least a minute. I also noticed that he was starting to shed shortly after I put it on, so rather than letting him eat the skin, I just discarded it so he wouldn't ingest any Flamazine by accident; because it's just a sample it has no label or instructions, so I wasn't sure if it would be safe for him to eat, and figured I'd rather be safe than sorry. I guess I'll give him an extra dusted cricket tonight :P

What your tomato frog has is nose/eye rub. It has rubbed against the sides of it's enclosure that the friction has worn away part of the eye lids and nose. It will heal over but it will be permanently scared / discolored on the nose and the eye lids, which will never grow back, so the top of the eyeball will always be exposed. They can be fat and lazy and sit there for days, weeks, months on end but sometimes they do get very active and will jump around and rub their face into the side of the enclosure as they don't understand the invisible barrier that's stopping them. The exact same thing happened to one of mine but not as bad as yours. If I see her being energetic I usually feed her a lot of food to get her to settle down lol.
