    Default Please Help Calvin!

    Hi,
    I have a pet american bullfrog.
    I keep him in a separate tank at night and woke up this morning to him stiff, still and white eyed (just the pupils). He seems to have gone blind.
    there is a chance i might have forgotten to dechlorinate his water!
    I gently worked his legs and now he can move them a bit, he can blink and is breathing. what do I do! I moved him into safe water. Is there anything i can do!? is he gonna die?

    Personally, I am a pacman frog owner, I don't know alot about bullfrogs, but maybe you could go forum to forum looking around.. or posting there.

    You could try this website. http://www.frogdaze.com/The_frog_doctor.html


    I am very, very, very sorry for what is happening to you.

    He's doing better, responding to my touch and using his legs a little, but he still can't seem to see.
    i'm going to take care of him as long as he's alive, which means force feeding i guess.
    If i blended crickets and calcium supplement and used a syringe, would it be sufficient?

    I'm not so sure about that, I'd use the card method and put prey in his mouth, and just out of curiosity, how large is his tank? Bullfrogs need massive, often very expensive and space consuming tanks, 100 gallons for just one adult. It could be possible that he injured his eyes while jumping into glass, any pictures? You'll have to upload them to photobucket.com or imgur because frog forum was hacked, and we can't upload photos directly anymore

    He died this morning. He threw up crickets and a rock last night and now he's gone. He didn't hurt his eyes, only the pupils were white and it was both eyes.

    My condolences to you. He's in that big pond in the sky now.
