Black spots on RETF

[LilyPad]

Lisa (thumper) Even if your experience wasn't great with Dr Frye, he has helped out tons of frogs where people could not find a vet willing to see or knowledgeable about amphibians. I think there was obviously some type of miscommunication (I do not necessarily mean on your part) in your situation.

My guy seems to be doing good. So far he eats, poops and is active. His spots seem better. I have no exotic vets around so was hoping these areas looked familiar to experienced Red-Eyed Leaf Frog owners that might know what it was and if it was something to worry about. When I forst brouht him home he was very mottled and had bright green spots. The next day or two black spots showed up that wasn't there before. I have treated him with Metafix and polysporin for a week and it does seem to be better. So fingers crossed it's not an infection, just marks from his trip home.

That is looking better, keep a very close eye on it and maintain a quarantine away from the others just in case it were to get worse. Because he arrived ill, I would also make sure to get fecal testing done before introducing him to your other frogs.

[Shaunalea15]

My ordinary get could test that right?

[LilyPad]

Yes, it's a fecal float test just like they would do for your cat or dog

[Shaunalea15]

Okay I'll inquire about it.

Also, that cricket looks pretty big, keep in mind that crickets should be no longer than the space between his eyes.

I know... which is why I contacted him. I just don't know what I did or said wrong I'm glad he's helped others though... Anyway I won't bring it up anymore. Sorry if I offended anyone...
