Sores on newly acquired Hyla Gratiosa

[CommanderPayne]

Hello there,

I bought two Barking treefrogs a couple of days ago from a shop link on here and I noticed some extra shiny skin on this one. I looked again today and now they have turned in to this





It looks very much like a scabbed sore on his back and a bleeding nose sore.

Please help. I'm not sure what to do

Should I move him in to another setup away from his femal counterpart?

yes put him into quarantine immediately, and get him to a vet asap
it could be nose rub and a cricket bite or it could besome thing more serious. but best to be on the safe side.

I don't think there is a herp vet in this area.

oh there will be a herp vet somewhere, keep looking, phone round all the vets you can, and ask them for the nearest herp vet, they should know! it doesn't look good though I lost one of my red eyes after 3 days of noticing these similar sores good luck!! and please keep us posted on how he does. xxxx. it was ulcerative lesions with secondary infection on my frog, and they were there for a day, saw them, took my frog to the vets, after 3 more days, he passed away, and that was with treatment too so acting quickly is always best!!!! good luck!!!!

Can't believe i've only had them for 4 days!

I know! crap isn't it, my retf's I only had for 2 days!! needless to say I took them back to the shop, who were totally unsympathetic and unhelpful and pretty rude tbh, so I will not be going in there again!! I think there were just in it for the money really.
