Sorry for the bad pictures. I was doing my daily check on the frogs before work, and I noticed that this frog seemed to be missing a patch of skin on his left arm/hand! I was freaking out! I don't know if the pictures are showing this, but the patch seemed to be red/purple. The frog seemed fine yesterday, and I did not notice this on the frog. Any idea what the prognosis is for stuff like this?

I am in the process of finding an ARAV vet accessible to me (anyone been to The Center For Avian & Exotic Medicine in Manhattan?), and after work I am setting up a QT container for this guy.

I did a search on the subject and found this thread with a similar case it looks like:

So here is the plan:

1- Apply the silver sulfadiazine cream to the lesion once a day for 3 days

if no improvement then

2- soak frog in a .01% fluconazole bath
So I know that people on the boards can't type in a magical remedy into their keyboards and solve my problem, but I would really appreciate hearing back from members that have had similar cases and how they treated their frogs, and how (and if) their frogs recovered. Thanks.
