    Default Any advice?

    So I just went to check on all my frogs and I noticed something weird about my Blue Webbed Gliding Tree Frog

    His bad eye:

    Head on shot so you can see both eyes:

    He can't see out of his right eye, the bottom of his eye has a white line(on both sides it is normal and has always been like that) but it is swollen and puffy, and there is a little clear goo coming out of his eye.

    His other eye he can open all the way but his eye looks a little cloudy.

    I put him in a clean little tank by himself away from the other frog till I can figure out what is wrong. And I will clean out his normal tank and remove the other frog so I can keep him from getting sick too.

    Anyone have any ideas of what is going on?

    First of all, is he living with another frog that is not of the same species? If so, that not a good idea and maye the origin of its problem. My blue-web has his onw enclosure.

    Now to address you problem. I believe what we have here is an infection of the eye. It will require a veterinarian's attention to fix.

    No he is with another Blue webbed.
    They have been in the same tank for almost 2 months and I haven't noticed anything weird until today.
    The other frog still looks normal, no sign of sickness.

    Another thing I noticed that you can see in the pictures is that his feet are a little curled and the one back foot barely touched the ground. I don't know if it is because he can't see out of one eye and is unblanced, if it was the surface he was on, or if he has some kind of viral infection that is affecting his whole body.

    Would I just clean the tank/decorations with a water bleach solution and let it dry for a day before returing the non-sick frog?

    I am currently looking for a vet that treats exotics, and one that can get him in soon. I am having trouble finding one that is why I was trying to see if there are any commercial products or anything I can do to help him until I can get him into the vet.

    I know of no OTC products that help in this situation. As far as the feet and hands are concerned, I see no major problem there. It could be a balancing problem due the condition of the eye.

    Good luck, I hope you find a vet soon.

    I doubted there were any out there but I was hoping I could find something that could help him for the rest of the night till I can get him in somewhere tomorrow.

    Thank you for your help, i really appreciate it!
