Oh crud! Looks like this actually CAN be transmitted to humans, so wear gloves when handling your frog or anything it it's environment, and use an alcohol based hand cleaner afterward, just in case

I've not seen anything come out of it. It seems like the same thing that happend a while back but now it's back and it is bigger. Luckily the frog has not lost any amount significant weight but I still cannot get him to eat.. I am leaving a few roamers in his tank every night with the hope he is eating a few crickets. Without a vet locally to check it, I am not really sure what more I can do other than wait it out.
Re: Small lump on Whites Tree Frog?
Sort of a good news update, I decided to just put him in a 10 gallon tank alone with some crickets, he ate one right away. I'll let him sit in there for an hour or two and see if he can eat.
I know this may be grasping at straws but I do still have Panacur anti-parasite powder.. would mixing that with warm water and soaking him in it do any harm?

Looks like the lumps are starting to go away. I contacted Dr. Frye and he suggested Flagyl, Panacur (though it may not be effective it would not hurt to try it) and Baytril. I have everything except the Baytril so I think I may order some Monday. Anyways it looks like it is starting to heal, he still won't eat (I did see him eat one cricket, he may be eating roamers but too stressed to tong feed?) but he's still not losing weight really.
Has anyone had this with their Whites Tree Frog, is this a sign of improvement? Should non-pain relief Neosporin be used here?
