oodinium or spring disease
Hi,
is there anyone who has experience with exotic tree frogs. I just bought some red eyed tree frogs at the atlanta exotic animal show. 2 of them seem ok, but 1 of them has these little lesions in his skin surrounded by a white circle. He is also showing really dark brown coloration and is a bit lethargic ( he didnt really move positions overnight). I have been lookin online to see what his deal was but a lot of diseases seem to mimic others. I dont know if my frog has a fungal infection, or spring disease characterized by discoloration and frequent yawning, or both or something different altogher, i would post a pic but i dont have a digital camera. I am going to isolate him now and treat his wounds with dilute hydrogen peroxide, and alow him to sit in distilled water...I also heard that adding 50-100 grams per gallon of aquarium salt can help clear up the infection is that true? Anyways if someone could reply to this as soon as possible with any help i would greatly appreciate it.
thanks
raj joshi
