    Well it hasn't been eliminated I guess so next thing to look at. The first poops I found recently and actually took it as a sign that things were well so didn't them examined, I'll wait for another from the last remaining frog and get it checked out. Thanks!

    Just checked on the last remaining frog and saw this:







    Not sure if it's coming from the cloaca or through the skin, but this is the first obvious sign that something is definitely wrong. Anyone seen this before? Any clue as to what might be killing these guys?

    Still thinking parasite, I would find an exotic vet and get its stool checked for parasites

    Yeah, poop has always been like gold dust the whole time I've had them. Saw my first two about a week ago, kicking myself for not getting them checked out but the frogs seemed perfectly healthy by then. Damn it! I'll give the vet a call in the morning and see what he makes of it.

    Yep, spoke to him today and showed him the photos. He's thinking viral, bacterial or maybe parasitical. If it's viral nothing can be done of course, so we've started with Baytril in case it's bacterial. Need fecal matter to ascertain if it's parasites, but can worm anyway just in case so will do that. He's thinking parasites are the least likely however.
    Unfortunately due the history and where they came from, Ranavirus is most likely and would explain everything else in this thread. Fortunately as they were wild caught they were kept in a different room to the rest of my collection which is quite extensive and would have been a complete disaster if infected.
    I'll update with developments.
