What is thrush?
Thrush is a bacterial infection of the frog that results in degeneration
of the frog tissues.
There are two types of thrush:
•The first type affects the horny frog. |
• The second
type affects the sensitive frog.
|
|
|
The infection produces a
foul smelling discharge.
The frog will have a ragged appearance and there may be local pain over
the affected area.
The condition is associated with damp and unhygienic stables together
with the neglect of foot hygiene. |
In severe cases, the infection may spread to the underlying corium.
|
NB. It is very important to remove all of the damaged frog tissue so
that no unhealthy tissue is available to harbour bacteria.
