    MBD is a very dangerous condition for frogs. Often leads to death. Glad you frog is doing better. Nutrition is just as important to frogs as it is for humans. White tree frogs are prone to obesity. Here are two articles that may interest you:

    I am also concerned about the white patches. Not sure if it is a bacterial or fungal infection. You may try swabbing the wounds twice a day with Bactine using a Q-tip. Bactine is a recommended topical for amphibians.

    The white patches on his nose, or his back? On his back are just regular frog freckles, they've always been there. On his nose is a sore leftover from when he was rubbing his nose against the tank mesh a month or so ago, i haven't been putting anything on it but i've been monitoring it closely, it seems to be healing up just fine on its own and he's not bothered by it.
