froggie update

[Kurt]

I was told on another site that it could have been chytrid? What do you guys think?

I don't even have to look at those links, I can tell you that it wasn't chytridiomycosis. The symptoms are all wrong. I had a fire salamander die of it not too long ago. The salamander stopped eating and hiding, was lethargic, and its skin was flaking off, especially on it's underside. He looked horrible.

I'm really freaked out now- this would mean isolating and treating the other frog which I am scared to death to do, and cleaning out a tank each day before I put him back

Isolating why? Do you have other frogs?

Definitely not chytrid. Laura, I know it's difficult but you have to get past this - you didn't do anything wrong and there's nothing to be done about it now. I have some lovely little gray treefrog froglets that would love to meet you and they won't drop dead on you.
