I picked(as in held him/her) up my pacman today, and felt something really hard on the right side. I think it could be a rock, though i am not sure how it got into the frog terranium at the moment. What should i do?
the pics
Try soaking him in lukewarm water with pedialyte in a 10:1 mixture. 10 parts water 1 part pedialyte.
Warm bath with 3 to 4 drops of honey. soak for 15 minutes and prepare a second bath with only one drop and soak another 15 minutes. Be sure that you pour some of the water over his back and over his vent. water level should be normal depth no deeper than up to his chin and like warm. You can gently massage his side in small circles towards his vent and I mean very gently.
Keep us posted
I found some honey in the house, found some lukewarm water but do not have pedialyte. I am trying to find a bowl that i can place him/her in right now.
Honey works just as well. Good luck hopefully it helps. Has he pooped recently? Also if you try the pedialyte style soak make sure to get unflavored.
he has not pooped in about 4 days, going to be 5 days now should i feed today?
okay looks like there is a small piece of poop sticking out of his/her but now.
Okay, when should be the next time to feed? after the lump of the right side(frogs right side) is gone?
where should the frog be moved after the warm bath?
I just bought a pacman last saturday and I think he was a little impacted since he hadn't used the bathroom until last night and had a hard lump on his left side. I soaked the little guy in honey water 3 days in a row for 20 minutes and he finally went last night. After soaking him in the honey water I would set him in the water bowl in his tank and he'd sit there. Last night he finally went to the bathroom in his tanks bowl after a soak in honey. Hopefully everything comes out alright for your little guy.
As Pluke said you'll want to place him in his water dish after his soak is finished. Be sure to place warm water in it as well. Then leave him be.
I had one that I recently purchased, an Ornate that didnt poop for eleven days. I did a warm water soak inw ater that the frog had to kick and swim in as leg movement generally helps animals go (even humans) and after a pretty lengthy soak placed him in a plain terrarium with shallow water. He pooed the next day one massive deuce and has been eating like a champ and doing fine since.
The frog in that picture could really use a good deuce. WHat have you been feeding that thing?
