I believe my aquatic frog scraped his belly on something while chasing feeder fish a couple of days ago. I noticed he did not want to eat his cube from my fingers last night for the first time in over a year which alarmed me greatly, but I did not see the scrape until this morning. It is almost 1/4" wide & long and red, definitely through the outer soft layer :( Is there something I can buy at the pet store tomorrow to put in the water to help it heal? Please tell me it will heal? He didn't eat again today - I am very concerned! He does share the aquarium with his pal, should I separate them for any reason? Thanks for any advice! |

I would seperate just in case. Another tank mate may cause him stress, which isn't good if he's trying to heal himself.
Try this website:
http://www.pollywogsworldoffrogs.com/Text-html/frog-rx-fungal.html#skin
it lists a few things you can try for breaks in the skin.
Unfortunately I've not tried any of them so can't say whether they will work of not.
Keep us informed x |

Someone WILL come along< who is much more informed than me, but I would believe it will heal on it's own, if it is only the outer skin< but I would worry about infection and getting him to a more sterile enviroment. |
