Help:illness

[Ldu4890]

My partners tree frog became suddenly ill. It excreted a thick white fluid from its skin. Sadly it has passed on. I need help understanding what went wrong. I attached a picture. At that point he was being moved to find treatment. Sadly no local vets treated frogs. We bought a 1 16 inch by 16 inch by 24 inch standing case. Blue bulb. Auto water sprayer on timer, water dish, climbing stone, and fake plants attached to the side. Frog was happy and healthy previous night and took a sudden turn for the worse and died an hour after he started secreting the white fluid.

Is this a White's Tree Frog? I've found a site that mentions milky discharge. Apparently it's a response to stress and can be caused by illness.

Maybe the temperature or water could have contributed to being ill, but sometimes frogs get sick even in perfect conditions. It's hard to tell they're ill at all until they're very sick sometimes. I'm sorry.

Well I looked at the page and it would seem that what happened to the frog was Chytridiomycosis. Thank you for finding that page for me. It brought some clarity during a painfully confusing time.
