    Sorry but I don't think anything you can get over the counter will help. They use special antibiotics for eyes, and regular ones can just make things worse.

    Many dog/cat vets will be willing to see reptiles for minor things like infections. If they seem hesitant to see the frog, tell them you just think you need opthalmic antibiotics and you have no other treatment options. That's what I did with my Turtle when she had a severe eye infection and the only vet available didn't really do herps.

    At the bottom of this article are a couple of treatments for cloudy/infected eyes, is this something worth trying or will i cause more damage like you said? Cause i'm in a pickle, there is no herp doctor in my city so i'm willing to try anything.

    I've never heard of those treatments before. Putting things like in a frog's eye could really do harm if you aren't 100% sure the source that is telling you to do it is a good one. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.
    Right now, you may want to put him in a hospital tank (moist paper towels for bedding, change them every day) and keep his temp and humidity right. Correct husbandry conditions may boost his immune system enough to beat this. It's about the best info I can give you other than trying to take him to a regular vet and get antibiotics from there.

    I have heard of people using baytril to treat things like this, but I have no idea on the dosage or delivery methods. Hopefully someone who has experience with that will see this.
