Cloudy eyes??

[Bonnie loves Clyde]

I think that Bonnie is sick. She is a whites tree frog and her right eye looks as if it is shut and possibly infected. Is there any way I can help her without having to pay big bucks for a vet?

Ensuring your frog is always hydrated is a good start, just plop the frog in the bowl if you think it hasn't had water in the a while a sick WTF is a frog that doesn't move much so keep a eye on it's activeness at night, also ensure that the e the tank is clean to stop any infections, I am not a specialist in frogs but the eye can be a very delicate thing so I wouldn't advise home treating this, maybe a vet is your only option. Hope this helps.

Cloudy eyes in frogs are often a sign of a bacterial infection of some sort. It's best you visit your vet, but if that's not an option you can at least boost your frogs ability to fight the infection by administering a vitamin&honey bath.

Use lukewarm bottled spring water. If you have to use tap water make sure you condition it to remove the chlorine & chloramine. Pour 10 fl.oz. in a dish, add 1 fl.oz. of **unflavored** Pedialyte, 3 drops of organic raw honey (regular honey will work if this isn't an option, but raw honey is always best), and a scoop of Fluker's Repta-Boost. Mix the bath well, then let your frog soak in it for 20-30 minutes. Ideally the water level will come right up to your frog's mouth, but not over its nose. A weak frog can drown in deep water. Reglardless of how deep the water is, you'll water to supervise the bath to make sure nothing goes wrong. It's a good idea to spoon some of the bath over your frog two or three times during the soak.

Raw honey is a natural and safe anti-bacterial, anti-viral, & anti-fungal substance. The lukewarm water & honey bath will also help an impacted (constipated) frog go to the bathroom. The Pedialyte & Repta-Boost will help replish your frog's electrolyte, vitamin, and mineral levels.

Repeat bath 2-3 times a week until your animal is looking better. If the problem gets worse you need to see a vet.

Sick frogs should always be moved into quarantine until they have recovered. Quarantine tanks should be very simple, damp paper towel for substrate, a water bowl, and a fake plant. Of course you need to provide whatever light/heating is required for your species of frog. Quantine tanks enable you to monitor feeding, droppings, and behavior better.

It's worth mentioning that cloudy eyes can also come from old age.
If the frog is overweight, or has been continuously overfed, it could be corneal lipidosis (fat deposits in the eye). This is not uncommon for whites tree frogs, as they tend to get fat easily.
