first things first, don’t worry i’ve been to the vet already! and i will call my vet again tomorrow. however, since he is in another city, and my city is in corona lockdown, i wanted to see if anyone here has had any experience with an injured dart frog.
after noticing a white lump on my dart frogs leg last week, i immediately took her to the vet. it came back that my dendrobates azureus had injured herself and has a visible wound. my vet found signs of an infection and sent a test back for the lab to check for any bad bacteria, he advised to lower the humidity slightly in the tank and to keep an eye on it. i was later informed that there was no bad bacteria to worry about.
after a few days of the wound going down, it got much worse. her leg became very swollen and the white spot has also gotten large spots of red and pink.
after another visit, she has been prescribed baytril to be applied once a day. i did this for 7 days per vets instructions, but there’s no change in her condition.
there’s no information on how to treat this online, and since i’d likely be unable to travel for the foreseeable future i wanted to see if anyone here had some tips or input.
