    Default Green Spot/Bacterial Infection From Cricket Bite..?

    It could be a bite. Odd place for an injury and less she jumped up and hit something pinpoint like?

    The "green spot"! Ugh! It reminds my of the black spot on Jack of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

    The light green spots can, of course, be a number of things. Over the years, dealing with stressed and sick frogs, I've noticed two things, first, that they often start showing up with stress or illness. In retf' you can see a light green spot right on the top of their heads between their eyes when they stress. Several spots are generally indicative of a bacterial infection.

    I would apply original neosporin to the black spot and the green spot. Hold off on the other treatments just yet. Do not use the kind with pain reliever, it's toxic to frogs. Use a Qtip and just gently swirl it onto the areas.

    How was her energy today? Is she moving around?

    It seems like she may be getting better? Def keep an eye on those spots and her appetite. Maybe hold off on the Melafix unless she stops eating again.

    She seems totally back to normal now, thankfully! No bite mark, no spot, eating, bathing and everything as per usual. It was just strange! So I guess the green spots can show up as stress reactions apparently? She only had one, and it was weird how it "moved". I'm glad she got better on her own and I didn't have to use the Melafix, after hearing mixed reviews on how it effected frogs and not knowing exactly how much to use and for how long. :/

    Thanks guys! <3
