I own bearded dragons and that is normal for them to have a piece of shed to come off later than the rest.

It has has since progressed and now it looks like his mough/nose are rotting off. I have quarantined the sick frog and changed the water for the other frog. I have the sick frog in bacterial/fungus medicine.

Has as anyone seen this before?
what is it?
am I doing the right thing?
Judging from your photograph, it appears to be the consequence of a fungus condition that I once experienced with one of my Hymenochirus frogs about 30 years ago.

The frog that I had developed a white, cotton-like fungal growth on its nose. I treated it by bathing it in a fish fungus remedy, which was probably Methylene Blue. The white growth eventually disappeared but the frog was left with a cavernous opening on its "muzzle" where its nostrils once were, which appears similar to what's happened with your frog. I also knew of someone else who had a frog with a similar fungal condition on its leg and the limb disappeared after treatment. In both cases the frogs survived.

I hope this information is useful to you.
