    This frog have already be treated with Lamisil to prevent Chytrid Fungus *warm water bath with 1ml/Lamisil in 200ml for 5minutes for 10 days

    this frog remains with great appetite anyway

    That's a real mystery to me. Is it eating well? Did it reach you in that condition? Those look like bacterial sores but I'm not sure. It surprises me that it's ill yet still eating well. That's a good sign, in any case.

    Hi john

    Yes the frog still eats very well ! I suspect that this appears after a meal of live congo tetras because i was a little concerned about calcium improvement, other thing are those heat mats not achieving optimal temperatures at this time of the year ,they are doing 24C/75F day 20C/68F night !
    About cleanness is a must for me, enclosures have been checked twice a day sometimes more.
    What i can do to raise a little bit temp is lowering the inches on substrate but frogs could get close enought to bottom..
    But now i have to start with some kind of treatment on the ill one!!! any suggestion ?

    Make sure you isolate that frog from any other frogs just in case the disease is contagious. But it does remind me of the infamous red leg disease but I'm not sure.

    The fact that its eating is a good sign. I doubt that it is redleg. I found this site http://www.geocities.com/inibico/updates.html. It has a bunch of conditions and treatment information. Scroll all the way down to the bottom.

    Best of Luck

    Hi again to all of you

    My frog is going better, I decided to TEST a treatment based on nothing but i can witness good results already.

    Found a medicine on an drawer and as far i remenbered this was for a fungus for my old man foot nail that start after he breaks on a reef coral on Mexico or Maldivas dont know exactly.

    So here goes pictures to you to see and comment !!!....

    I can see new skin and those "wounds" seem more closed and bare ..i think



    Here you can see that the legs are less red


    The medicine itself


    Topic application


    And a smile from the frog ,and i hope for better results for the next days
