Leuc with chytrid

I have 3 others with it and they look fine. This guy came in sick and he looks like he was stunted or had issues competing for food. Dunno if it's too late for this one but we'll see.

great reference shot, thanks for posting. Are you able to share the details on where they were from?

That looks serious

.
Treatment procedures can be found online...I would quarantine those others too - better to prevent than to cure.

Good luck.

He's in treatment now. I quarantined them pretty well (thankfully) as I do with all my frogs.

I'm doing the lamisil treatments. I'm going to say imports after extensive trying to figure out where they're from and then assume guyana because they're striped and huge (after talking for a while the guy wasn't sure where they came from and was trying to find out himself so I assume large importer of more than frogs). Pisces confirmed chytrid.

i know steve busch has had success with his citronellas i think with the lamisil treatment. And i believe continually testing negative after treatments. hopefully it isnt too late and the chytrid has not caused more damage than can be handled. I'd be very very interested to find out how the treatments go. hope it turns out for the better.

let us know any updates as you go along with the treatments. kristy

nish- you're going to do the whole ten day treatment right? and on the others? good research to retest after your treatment has been completed. i am assuming the turkey baster? is to make sure you get the full head submersed in the lamisil treatment as well? kristy

I was waiting on two others to come in to do the rest all at the same time. The other three look absolutely normal- very large and eating well. This guy has been particularly lethargic and of course the skin looks bad. I'm going to start on the other three tomorrow most likely. Going to need to make a trip out to Josh's to get stuff (hopefully he'll be available).

Yeah it's a disposable pipet. I was using it to pretty much baste the frog over a few times but it had the bonus of being able to control the solution height at the same time.
