    Unhappy Sick frog?

    I've had a male albino clawed frog for about 10 years. Hes lived mostly on his own due to the fact that he eats everything. Most recently i fed her some feeder fish for the first time in years. I usually just feed her frozen bloodworm cubes. Anyways i fed her these fish about 10 days ago. I just noticed her on the top of the tank today, and it took her a while to get moving with me tapping on the glass. This concerned me as she doesnt usually remain that quiet. Upon further inspection i noticed some type of red rash or something on her one foot. I also noticed she has slight inflammation of her chest. When i went to feed her she did not quite act herself, and it seemed that she was unable to eat much of the bloodworms although she was trying to, and most ended up in the tank around her. She lives in what i think is a 30 gallon tank. I thought it was a female when i got it so i have a habit of referring to it as her so pardon that. Anyways any help is appreciated. Ive fed this thing every other day for a decade and i know well enough that something is up. If anyone can help i cant post pics. Also if i need to put her down i would like to know the best way to do that.
    Thanks, canuck

    Default Re: Sick frog?

    Im not completely sure what is wrong with her but if you fill this out it may help me and others have a better idea of what might be wrong.
    1. Tank Size and volume of water in it (full, 1/2 filled, etc.)?

    2. Number of inhabitants including all frogs and any fish?

    3. Water source and any conditioner treatments?

    4. Water Temperature and how is it heated (if so)?

    5. Water chemistry levels: pH; Ammonia (NH3); Nitrites (NO2); Nitrates (NO3)? Note that if you do not have test kits, most aquariums/pet shops will do complimentary tests if you take a clean water sample.


    6. Describe any filter system including model and media?[/COLOR]

    7. Substrate type?

    8. Tank set-up (plants (live or artificial), driftwood, hide outs and other decor? - How were things prepared prior to being put into the tank?

    9. Main frog staple food and any treats? How often you feed?

    10. CA, vitamins, and any other additives used (how often)?


    11. Lighting set-up and hours it's used?

    12. When is the last time frog ate?

    13. Have you found poop lately?

    14. A picture would be helpful including frog and tank (any including cell phone pics are fine).

    15. Describe frog's symptoms and/or recent physical changes; to include it's ventral/belly area.

    16. How old is the frog?


    17. How long have you owned him/her?

    18. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred?

    19. Any medications in the water (treatment doses and for how long)?

    20. Any salt in water (how much)?

    21. Is the tank kept in a high or low traffic area?
