One of my cobalts has developed a cloudy eye...anyone know what it is or how to cure?
Thanks

It's impossible to give a diagnosis or suggest a cure here. There are about a dozen things that can cause a cloudy eye, including parasites and systemic bacterial problems. If it is only one eye, and the frog is otherwise healthy, it may be due to a corneal injury that may heal itself with only supportive care. I would isolate the frog from the others, make sure it is getting plenty of food and able to capture it. You may have the option of consulting a herp vet in your area, depending upon what you can afford and if there is one near enough to you to transport the frog without undue trauma to either of you. The nearest herp vet to me is 240 miles away, so I quite frankly would't pack up a frog and take it over slippery, snowy roads and mountain passes in the middle of winter for any reason, spend the night in a motel, plus the gas at $2.00 a gallon and slither my way back losing two days wages, as well. I would do it for a human member of my family, but not for even a $150.00 frog, however fond I am of it. Fortunately, I've never had to make this choice. On the other hand, most people aren't as isolated as I am from the real world. So here is a site that will hook you up to a herp vet in your area. Click on "Members," and then upon "The United States." This will take you to a list of herp veterinarians by state and location.
