Clawed Frog Bloated

HI All!
I hate when people leave me hanging on these types of posts.

Not to sound rude, but this thread has more than 1,500 views and 4 pages of comments. In the past three months, this thread has received the most attention.

Glad to see the frog is slowly recuperating, though.

Hi Necromencer,
I think you misunderstood what I was saying. The goal of my post was to update all of you on the health of Frogee since all of you helped me try to make him better. I didnt want you to be wondering what happend to him (if you were interested). Usually, people get help from more experienced caregivers and then never update on if the animal is alive, well, bad etc. I was not trying to say that anyone ignored me which is how I think you took my comment.

Hope you are all well.

HI Guys,
Well, after my positive post, I am concerned about Frogee. As you know, he deflated significantly in the belly area but is still inflated in the back legs. He was eating well and I was feeding him every other day. However, this morning, I noticed that Frogee is very lethargic and is not eating. He is struggling to get air at the top of the tank. I tested the water and found the pH to be in the green/blue range, the ammonia had a very slight amount and the nitrates were 0. I did a slight water change to get the ammonia back to 0. I have also lowered the water a bit so that the 10 gal has about 6 gal (just enough that the filter can run) to help Frogee get to the top. There are also some plants in there so he can use them as steps to get to the top. I dont see anything that happened which would have caused this to happen to him. Does anyone have any suggestions to help? I am afraid that I will loose him overnight or in the next day or so if he doesnt turn around soon. Thanks all.

Any update here? I think lowering the water so he can get air and keeping the water clean with frequent water changes is probably best for right now.
