    Default Wound or disease?

    Literally just noticed this on two of my Tiger Legs, the other three are fine. I took the cage apart and found three fully grown crickets in there. Anyone seen anything like this before? Cricket bite or some kind of disease? I can't contact a vet until morning....

    The first one looks like it has some fluid in it. I think there may be parasites involved.

    Default Wound or disease?

    I'd say see a vet if possible.

    The vet thinks it might be a cricket bite that has become infected. Anti bacterial and anti fungal treatment under way

    Just to update this thread, the first treatment from the vet wasn't terribly effective on the worse of the two frogs and the wound continued to fester a bit. I went back and got some silver sulfadiazine cream and used that instead which worked brilliantly!
