My white tree frog has a leg scar, but acts normal. Should I worry?

It is difficult to determine a leg injury with these photos. Fractured legs rarely heal in a aquarium/terrarium environment due to the animals movements usually does not allow stabilization of the fracture site. Also, splinting the limbs is near impossible for the same reason. If you think this frog has a fracture, it probably needs to see a veterinarian, especially before it gets worse (such as an open fracture with bone exposed). I have amputated several frog/toad limbs in my day and most do well and have good quality of life, although tougher time catching prey. Might have to feed via forceps. Good luck.

Oh goodness, That is very concerning. Does he eat live prey? Perhaps there was an altercation? I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by a veterinarian . He likely needs antibiotics. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Remove her from her main tank and put her in a smaller hospital tank. You can use paper towels for substrate. Change them daily. Increase tank temps to 80 F with a basking spot of about 85 F. Maintain humidity at 70%. Mist her daily and provide a water bowl. Use only dechlorinated water. It she isn't defecating normally, a soak in a honey and water solution may stimulate defecation. A dilute unflavored PediaLyte solution can treat or prevent mild dehydration. Offer appropriately sized prey, no bigger than the space between her eyes. You can also feed bits of nightcrawlers. If the redness and symptoms persist, have her examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles and amphibians.

I am so sorry to hear that Frogs was injured, but I am happy that you have found a veterinarian in your area who can see him. If you are seeing a loss of the toes, I would also be concerned about infection. Alternatively, these toes may have fallen off due to a lack of blood supply, which can happen with broken bones as well. I would recommend taking Frogs back to your veterinarian, as they can evaluate him and then prescribe antibiotics if they feel that the area is infected. I hope that gives you a place to start, and I hope that Frogs has a quick recovery.

Thanks for reaching out about Fray. Red leg is typically caused by a bacterial infection, Aeromonas hydrophila andis secondary to other concerns. Water quality and husbandry need to be reviewed and corrected. A veterinary visit is recommended to assist with the prescription of antibiotics needed to treat. Nothing over the counter will treat this, no matter what the advertisement. Good luck.

It almost looks like a bit of substrate stuck to the belly. It could be normal pigmentation developing. Keep an eye on both spots. Monitor for rapid change or growth, lethargy, loss of appetite, redness or spread. Keep the enclosure clean and at proper temps and humidity. Hoppers looks good in the images otherwise(no redness, not skinny, not dry).

Thanks for your question - to find a veterinarian in your area, you can check the AAFV or ARAV websites. Additionally, UC Davis is a couple of hours from you, and they have a department at their veterinary school that will see both fish and frogs. For the rock size - you are correct - you want to have larger rocks so that your frog doesn’t accidentally ingest any of them. For your last question about the spasms - without further description I would be unable to determine if this was normal or not, but I would recommend ensuring that you have a complete and balanced diet for the species of frog that you have. Nutritional deficiencies can be very common in frogs, and can result in “spasms” in them. I hope that helps to answer your questions, and good luck!
