Hey man sorry to hear your frog isn't doing well. Is the over the counter medicine your thinking of called Bactine?

It could have been the angle, but from the first picture, his eye pupils are slit to different levels, one is narrower than the other. Any recent pictures of his eyes?

[Krispy]

Unfortunatly no. His eyes were open at different levels tho. One was fully open. One half. This is also a first weve ever seen this. He almost looked... well.. drunk. Ive noticed around his pupils, the red color has been fading a little. This is odd indeed. Trying not to disturb him too much since he just fell asleep a little while ago.

Think my bedroom (where they ALL are) light being on at night(on and off alot) is messing with his natural pattern?

After sitting up long hours, actually yes one pupil is larger.

AHHAH! THAAAAAANK YOU! thats the name!

This is a tough one for us to deal with. We always try to be soooooooo anal about our care/cleaning. This truly is nerve racking. I love our animals more than most people. Being in the tight spot we are, makes a vet visit just about impossible. This could not have happened at a worse time. Which is how it goes isn't it???


Anyone out there run their soak dish through the dishwasher out there? Our water is set for retardedly hot,so maybe empty dishwasher, no soap, sterilizing run?

[Krispy]

Well. After speaking to a few people abroad...

Dun dun duuuuuuuuuun

We took a black light to them. I forget the complicated name sorry. Im distraught. There were small white splotches on them. A skin problem due to.....


Long suspensful pause.....



Indeed my own fogger. Too much constant moisture in the tank. A constant of about 80-85% for a little better than a year id say the foggers been on... Turned down their fog, ditched the soak, bye bye $25.... scowered the whole tank leaves and all. Prepared some nice enzyme treated water. Applied silversulfadine.



Now, we wait.

Hi Krispy,

Sounds right to me, one of the most common mistakes with Red Eyes is keeping them too wet which encourages bacterial infections. Sadly many of the care sheets tell you to keep them at 80-90% humidity so people follow this incorrect advice and this is the result.
I did put a modern care sheet sheet highlighting the problem up here:
