Re: Help!

Exactly, one of your frogs didn't make it. The stress of taking a frog to a vet is enough to kill it, I'm not risking that. Frogs almost always die anyways no matter what treatment you give them when they are sick. The only exotics vet around charges 200$ for an exam, and 100$ for a fecal test. I can't afford that. And another thing, if my frog is sick, I'm not going to give it all these treatments that might cause it harm, pain, or discomfort, I'm sure the frog would prefer to die.

I'm not sure how this could possibly be a bacterial or fungus infection, I just cleaned the cage out, the water get changes everyday, the cage is extremely clean.

This is very inaccurate information that you have gotten. Fungal infections if treated early are curable. Letting the animal continue to be sick and die is not right.
Prime example here. Animals in the wild specifically Panama are being trapped and treated for this fungal infection in hopes of saving the population.
