White's Treefrog Not Eating

Where are you located? Someone may be able to reccomend a vet to you.

it could be red leg he does look like he has a lot of red on the belly but i could be wrong hope he gets better

His belly shows up more red than it is in that pic, but it is a bit of a darker pink than usual. Red leg or an infection is something I'm concerned about.

I'm in Southern Jersey. Found Dr Joe Filgno listed on arav.org and we have an appointment this evening. Will keep everyone informed on what he has to say.

Thanks again everyone for all your help!

Back from the vet. Edward is retaining a clear fluid and the vet believes it is an infection. Just finished our first antibiotic bath. Edward gets a tetracycline bath twice a day for the next week.

Hopefully good news follows in the next few days and he begins eating again!

Good luck.

Good luck - sounds like your vet knows what he is doing.

Thanks for the well wishes! He's had 3 antibiotic soaks so far and the swelling in his abdomen seems to be lessening. Hopefully, Edward will start eating soon!

I strongly recommend Dr Filigno for anyone with amphibians or reptiles in need of a vet in the South Jersey area. He was quite helpful and seemed to know his stuff on our exotic pets.
