    Default I think my White's cant swallow it's skin

    For a week and a half now my frog has been acting very strange. He wont eat now and when i pick him up he opens his mouth to me and i can see something inside i think its all of its skin like instead of swallowing it just bunched up in its mouth. My instinct is to pull it out because its been there a week now and he is obviously having trouble with it. I was wondering if i shold go ahead and do that or could that hurt him?

    I would gently try to pull it out. If it comes freely, go ahead. If it feels connected or stuck, I'd let it be.

    I had/have the same issue with my Whites, Dwight. He also has signs of respiratory problems, but I don't know what exactly is going on. He was on antibiotics for a while and that helped but he's going downhill again. I was able to gently insert a sterile q-tip into Dwight's mouth and pull some of the "ick" out, and it had to have been undigested skin, stuck in his throat. If anyone else has other thoughts/ideas I would love to hear it!

    I took them to the vet and they had a vitamin A deficiency and a respiratory infection. I saw the one i was talking about here eat a cricket today so I feel like the medicine is helping them but i really hope they don't go back downhill like you're saying yours did i find it strange it is only affecting the blue dumpys the plain one who is female is fine and always was
