Vet finally got back to me and said he thought it might be fungal, so I've been out and about getting betadine and miconazole cream per his recommendation, and we'll see how that works.
The lighting does get in the way of seeing any of the patches on her side, but the one on her hindquarters just above the right side of her hip is pretty clear in the picture.
My frogs have never had butterworms, but they do get occasional wax worms, and sometimes wax moths if they manage to successfully gestate. I also give them some black soldier fly larvae on occasion, not just for the dietary benefits, but because of the acid they contain which helps manage parasites. It all really depends on local availability for the most part, especially during colder months. I do order some feeders online, but again, during colder months sometimes it's hard to get a large variety without exorbitant amounts on shipping unfortunately.
This frog (her name's Everest, but we just call her Eve) I just got this last July. She's captive bred, and I assume she only hatched this last spring, but I have no way of varifying that. Their supplements are Repti-Calcium and Zilla vitamin supplement with beta carotene. Lighting is 2 18" full spectrum fluorescent lamps - Repti Sun - although I can't remember if they're 2.0, 5.0 or what-have-you, and I'd have to dig through the closet to look at the replacement lamp packages to say specifically.
Anyway, I will try to post results and maybe some better pictures if my phone camera cooperates, so that if anybody else runs into this in the future this might be some help. If you have any other ideas, I'd love to hear them. Thanks
