Bulge on leg
Just got a white lipped tree frog from a guy on craigslist. I instantly noticed a bulge on its leg and am hoping its just a cyst or a benign tumor. The guy told me its only 8 months old. I got him for $10 so not a bad rehoming fee at all and even if its not going to make it long I wanted to give it a good home. If it is a parasite though I'm not putting it in with my other white lips. BTW I won't be taking it to a vet and paying $80. I was thinking depending on what I learn online after a few weeks if its still there possibly trying to stick it with a needle and see what comes out. Scary thought yes but its just an idea.
The bulge doesn't seem to hinder its movement at all and it feels soft and squishy between the skin and the muscle.

Re: Bulge on leg
looks like a cyst, there's some discoloration there. I'm no vet by any means but that's my .02

Re: Bulge on leg
If you watch very closely does it move. It could take awhile so watch for 5 minutes or so.

Re: Bulge on leg
Next day updates, he has eaten and pooed and seems healthy. I put a led flash light on the leg and watched it for a few minutes and I didn't see anything moving under the skin or anything.

Re: Bulge on leg
So I noticed the bump was getting bigger and had some what looked like localized skin shed hanging off it. I cleared that off with a que tip gently and noticed the part sticking out the most was dark almost clear. I gently pushed on the whole mass and it started to seep from the darker i guess thinner spot so I worked it all out it was all mostly clear with a little twards the end that had a white haze to it but not milky. Ick.... so was that a cyst or some wierd water retention? It didn't smell but felt sticky, ick...

Re: Bulge on leg
OOh ok that makes sense. I was looking at it and it looked the same so I was wondering why. Anyway! Thanks for clearing that up. Can we see what it looks like now?

Re: Bulge on leg
hmm it does look better, it's much smaller at least. I hope it goes away completely though...
