Thread: Please help - weak Northern Green Frog

    Default Please help - weak Northern Green Frog

    One of my northern green frogs has been slowly becoming weak and uncoordinated over the past few days. She can't right herself when she flips over on her back and won't hop any more and in general isn't nearly as lively as she used to be. She still eats readily, even if she can't swallow the food nearly as fast. She has been resting her head, dragging her front legs and in general just doesn't look good.

    She is a rescue and I've had her for about a year now. She does look significantly different than my other green frog, I'm not sure if she was stepped on before I got her or if she has bad genetics, but it did cross my mind that maybe she just doesn't have good genetics and is on her way out, but I don't think that is the case.

    she gets the same diet and dusting schedule as my other green frog and toad and shared the same enclosure as the other frog till I quarantined her today after finding her stuck on her back and severely distressed after getting home from being gone all weekend.

    I did notice that she has some reddening on her underside by her thighs and vent area. It's pretty subtle, but it is red.

    Ill post better pictures in the morning, but I don't want to stress her out any more tonight.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the first ailment I've ever had to deal with, so I'm a total noob.

    So sorry for your loss
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
