Is this a prolapse??

[Shanny]

Well I would try the soak, it helped the swelling and redness go down in my situation. Your frogs does not look that bad. I'd just quarantine with water dish and leave him be and you may be surprised tomorrow
You can look up the sugar water mixture online, that's how I found it. I didn't go by the measurement, I just added a very tiny pinch to the water dish.. Which was a small Tupperware container lid at the time because I didn't have an extra water dish, so it was quite shallow, but still my frog knew to dip his behind in there. I'm sure it felt a little better too. I didn't put any plants or decor in the hospital tank I made for him, just the towel and the dish, but if you want you could. I just figured he would soak more if he had less to climb on. And I was able to put the critter keeper into my frog terrarium, so he still had cover from the plants around his hospital tank and the heat and humidity of the terrarium.

Also, depending on what u use as substrate could have been the cause of this too if he accidentally swallowed some while hunting food.

Thanks Shanny, I have her Quarentined with a water dish with a pinch of sugar. I feed small to med crickets and use a high calcium cricket gut load, dusting the cricket 5 nights with flukers calcium d3, and 2 nights with repti vit. The substrate is jungle mix and may have ingested some if she went after a cricket that escaped. I hope id din't make things worse by trying to push it in although I'm sure she is stressed iI'm hoping she settles down soon in the quarentine tank. I followed what you said and added some plants in there to help the stress of a new tank and handling her. Thanks for your help.

Fingers crossed
Doug

Yeah, it's no problem. I just know how worried I was about my frog when it happened and il try and help anyone else out who may be going through the same thing. Haha I never understood or thought that I would love having frogs as pets just as much as cats and dogs, until I got these guys.. And some people make fun when you are excited about decorating there tank or making them a fogger, but whatever lol they just don't understand. I love my frogs in the same way I love and care for my cats and just the same as I would get help for my cats, I would do for my frogs if and when they need it.

She is probably fine, I'm sure she was freaked out by it but she will get better I'm sure if u just giver her a day or two.

I've added a pic I found of right after I took my frog to the vet. You can tell just by his colors that he was stressed out by the visit, but he soaked in the water and was fine after. Like I said, I didn't feed him for a week after this pic was taken, just to make sure it didn't happen again. And for that week I also kept him in his hospital tank.



This is a pic of Bitty that I actually took last night, because I added one of my baby frogs last night.. So I was in there checking on them periodically.


But as you can see he's all better
I'm sure your frog will pull through

I just got off the phone with my sister-in-law who is a vet and they have a exotics dept. at the vet college and she suggested they same things you did and if she isn't better by Monday to give them a call when they open. Thanks alot Shanny for your help and I will let you know how things go. BTW great pic of the lttle guy moving in.

Last night I checked on her and the prolapse had gone back in and this morning is still the same. I'm going to leave her quarentined for about a week but I'm wondering if I can start to give a very small cricket after a few days. I hate the thought of her going a week without food.

I would feed her something softer like night crawlers for s bit until the area heals more.
I believe Brian (UncleChester) had a good post on what he did for his after a prolapse.
