Black spots on RETF

[tinkgirl77]

Hello! Im so sorry to hear your little one is sick. I rescued a retf about 2 years ago that had several different infections and was very poorly cared for. some of his lesions were similar to your pics. The petshop i got him from was actually keeping him in a hermit crab enclosure. .. YIKES. ... anywhoo. I live in area where exotic vets are few and if you ask them about frogs, they're like " yea i think i can help". I was introduced to Dr. Frye of Milan animal hospital. He is an awesome resource! You can email/ call his office & send pictures. He will then offer assistance with diagnosis & you can buy the meds via mail. Im not sure about sending meds in the mail to Nova Scotia, but you could send him the details & pics & he can at least give you some direction. 734-439-2273, or dr.frye.vetatmilan@gmail.com . With his help, my little Felix has done very well. Hopefully this helps!

Goodluck to you & the little one!

Not meaning to rain on anyone's parade, but I tried contacting him for help with my WTF's coccidiosis, told him he was recommended by some of the fine folks at FrogForum, and paraphrasing the thread about medications where Metronidazole is listed by him as being an anti-protozoal medication. All he told me was he had never heard of Metro being used to treat frogs for coccidiosis, he was not aware that frogs COULD be treated for coccidiosis, and that "the information given" to me by the vet who prescribed the oral suspension form of Metro for my frogs (Dr. Frye recommended the injectable form to be used topically in the thread here) seemed "very strange" to him. Needless to say I was very disappointed and upset by the exchange, especially since I'd just lost my sHEila to prolapse After I pointed out that he was the one in the thread on medication who said Metro was an anti-protozoal medication I never heard back from him Just saying...
