Sick Whites Tree Frog

[Kisa]

Great advice Ginger, I'm going to save this thread in the back of mind for future reference.

I'm sorry to hear about your mistake, I don't know what I'd do if this had happened to me...but I'm so glad to hear that the frog is doing better and that Ginger's advice worked for you. Just remember not to blame yourself too much, this is a learning experience for everyone and we all make mistakes. This should help you to be more careful in the future.

You are all so wonderful to help!
It's doing much better. I had it (I feel so silly calling the poor frog it) in a Keeper over night.

I don't see the white mucous-y spots now. But it the green color isn't coming in in full either (it looks like the frog is covered in moss). I'm going to watch carefully for signs of infection and give it another pedialite bath tonight.


Attached are a couple of pics

I have no idea bout the moss texture to the skin, a few sheds and we should see what it's like under. I'm glad the puss is gone, and the seizures. I hope she eats, and then we can expect a full recovery, just worried bout infection.

Very gratefull theres improvment in a short time.

U should name it lucky, or purell

You all are better than WEB MD :-)

Nice.

Thanks, every1. But I couldn't stand by for more experienced peep to speek up, as critical time was being lost. I'm affraid Lucky wouldve been dead by morning. I'm still worried about the dark legs, but maybe this is the path the poison is taking to exit the body. Male sure to supliment calcium and vitamins, sometimes nutrition can help pull some out also. I'm still waiting on word of appitite, sometimes these kinds if things can cause kidney or liver damage, and intestinal problems. She may have the runs or get impacted.

I've tried to read as much as I can because I live in an area like her, no vets at all. I'd have to drive 5 hours (one way) to Madison or millwaukee (6 h)

Oh those pictures really paint in the details...D:

I don't really have any advice for you other than what you've been given, which are all great recommendations. All I can do is hope for the best in this case. If the frog's skin is damaged it may impede it's ability to absorb moisture. I hope it heals soon. ><
