Looking much better.

Man, I am not sure what is up but the infection seems to still be present. The area looks more or less the same still and one of the frogs nostrils is reddened a bit.

I'm going to try putting some Baytril on it tonight and maybe do an epsom salt bath.. I am wondering if I should try a maracyn / maracyn 2 combo? Maybe I need to get Tetracycline?

The frog is still eating and acting normal so at least the quality of life is still there but this infection has been going on a month now and just doesn't appear to be getting better...

Swabbed him with some bactine gel and will continue to do so and did an epsom salt bath.

Here's some pics.

Does look the same, or even spreading. Could this be a virus of some sort? Where antibiotics wouldn't work.

I just don't know. I ordered some API medicine that contains tetracycline and I placed him back in a hospital tank and am going to administer maracyn 2 again since my tetracycline order may not arrive until the 14th.

From reading this page: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/f...ease_site.html it appears to be some kind of bacterial infection, one oddly enough all frogs tend to survive (with live damage apparently..). At the very least the infection is in the same place.. (the snout/mouth).

The good news is at least, this guy is still eating and acting normally.

Glad he is still eating. Good luck! Thanks for the link to the article.
