this poor little guy has been like this for a while. So either hes one bad *** frog who thinks hes tough or thats not whats going on...

If you find an experienced vet, they should be able to help you. Some vets are clueless though, so ask them their level of experience with amphibians before spending your money there. I would probably try that before self treating.

I spoke with a fellow animal lover and they suggested listerine.
He wasnt 100% sure if it was frog safe and advised I ask the forum but said that he had been using it on any case of mouthrot in snakes they had. ( they rescue a bunch of animals )
Any ideas if listerine is frog safe?

Listerine active ingredients: menthol, thymol, eucalytpol, and methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil).

Eucalyptol is a cyclic ether and is toxic if ingested in higher than recommended dosages and it's an ingredient in natural bug sprays.

Thymol is a phenol and has antimicrobial and antifungal properties.

Menthol is another phenol derived from mint oils and is an analgesic.

Methyl salicylate is an ester (fancy phenol) that will dilate capillaries and increase bloodflow and is also an antiseptic--can be fatal is too much is ingested or absorbed.

I would not use it on a frog.
