Help!

Hi fellow frog keepers.

Can anyone help me? This has appeared on my Red Eyed Tree Frog, it's been there for about 2 weeks now. Doesn't seem to be affecting him but obviously it shouldn't be there?...

Any advise or help is appreciated

Thanks.

Looks like a boo-boo. Im not experienced with tree frogs, as I have a pacman frog, but I recommend looking on this website.

If that doesn't help, take him to the store that you got him from, and see if you can arrange a visit with a vet that specializes in amphibians/reptiles.

Um, that looks like a prolapse. What have you been feeding it, what are its tank parameters and such?

Curly Flys, it's in an Exo Terra Small Tall off the top of my head. I will get the exact measurements when I get home. What's the solution for a prolapse?

Yep that looks like prolapse. If he has been like this for 2 weeks my recommendation is bring him to a vet. To get the prolapse to go back in you sprinkle abit of sugar on it or give him a warm bath with some sugar diluted into the water, this will make the prolapse go back in. I would also recommend not feeding a whole lot until you get to a vet even if you get it to go back in because there is a good chance he will not be able to poop properly if at all. He may need a stitch also to prevent it from happening again. And after 2 weeks their is a good chance necrosis has started on the tissue, hope I said that right. IMO do the sugar asap and make a vet appt.

I'm doing the sugar as we speak also I have found poo in the tank lastnight and I cleaned it yesterday morning so pooing doesn't seem to be a problem
