My mom rescued him from the wild about 9 years ago, I believe his sore started out from my mom trying to help him a few weeks ago and put a lamp over the tank but i think it got to close and burned him, it looked like a burn, and I believe it got infected. It started as a small puss looking mass, but recently it spread, and just a few days ago the skin off his back has mostly dissappeared. We live no where near anyone with amphibian exotic type animal vets. You can see his spine. We thought he was dead this morning, he was kind of floating in his little water bowl. He has been in it all day, he hasn't ate in weeks. He barely made small movements. Any ideas on how much longer he is going to suffer?
