New Member and I need help!

That bump does not look like it coordinates with an injury in my opinion, especially since there are 2 there. It's good that she is still eating, but I'd take her to the vet before things get worse and you're dealing with a dead tree frog rather than a possibly ill one.

I did not see the smaller one until you said something as my eyes were only drawn to the one under the chin. Yep that looks like a cyst to me.

As an owner of a Whites I know that that isnt a whites tree frog. I would go with what others tell you as I cant tell you what kind. I hope the vet can tell you what is wrong. She is pretty..

Yep, this is a Leptopelis Vermiculatus and it look exactly like your frog.

Thank you guys for all of your help so well. And I just said a Whites since it was the closest I could find on this website. But yes, I'm not sure she is a Big Eye. I'm also about 85% sure that vets around here don't treat frogs. Any home treatments you guys can suggest?

You need to start calling vets in your area and figure out if there is someone that treats amphibians. When I started calling, I was shocked to find that the 2nd vet I called in my immediate area specialized in herps. You should really know your species of pet instead of just guessing, they each have their own varied needs, and chances are your frog is sick because you didn't provide it with the specific needs of a Big eyed tree frog. This is what I found about cysts in the skin of a frog...I can't say that's what it is, but this is what I've found.

Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis

• Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is the chytrid fungus currently wiping out frog populations worldwide. Infection begins with cysts underneath the skin and leads to a disease called chytridiomycosis that breaks the skin down, causing injury and secondary infections. It affects tadpoles and adults and is highly contagious among amphibians.

I would like to point out that the problem with the jaw can be a case of hypocalcemia or metabollic bone disease, which is common in captive amphibians. The cyst or blister I cannot explain so easily.
In the case of hypocalcemia, treatment is to increase calcium and vitamin D intake. Exposure to UV light will help a lot. Also, if this is hypocalcemia, it will be slow to cure.

I read that you generally have to have calcium injections done if it is MBD or they won't recover because their bodies cannot process enough calcium at a time to rebuild it. Is this true?
