What is this? First pic is the front of the leaf, and the second pic is the back of the leaf. It almost looks like something crawled on it… 😣!  
TIA!

Could be thrips or leaf miners 😬

How would you treat it if you had a plant that was infected with thrips or leaf minors? TIA!  
PS. Now I know I’m going to need that glass of Pinot… 😵‍💫!

Hmmm, upon closer inspection it looks to me thrips, thrips leave a silvery type of trail on the leaf. I’d give it a harsh shower down, and then treat weekly with captain jacks or arber pesticide. Lol right? Especially if there’s plants around it 😬😬

Do you have a curious cat or dog around that may have thought it was a tasty veggie and found out it wasn't?

Only one little Chiweenie, and this plant sits on a bathroom counter top, which I imagine would be next to impossible for her to get up on with her short little legs! TXS for your post; it was a good idea, but not in this household!

I now must see this chiweenie you speak of, sounds so cute ☺️
