EMERGENCY: African Bullfrog Dying?

[GrifTheGreat]

I do not own a Pyxie nor am I and expert. If you suspect impaction which is quite possible when feeding rodents. A lot of the time they become constipated due to amphibians having trouble digesting mammalian tissues. This is not a medical treatment but a way to help the frog pass the rodent. Prepare a soak of De-chlorinated water luke warm to warm. Around 80 degrees. Disolve 2 to 4 drops of honey in the water. Be sure the water is no deeper than up to your frogs chin.

Also I would try night crawlers or Hornworms as another food item. Much easier for your frog to digest. If he doesn't eat soon you will have to force feed. If you need help with this just ask and we will be happy to help. Try the soak and keep us posted.

If he can't walk or hold himself up you will have to hold him in the water so he does not drown. Watch him carefully. Now this is very important. Do you dust your frogs food with a multivitamin and calcium dust with D3? Your frog may be suffering from MBD(Metabolic Bone Disease) if you do not do this. If so you must see a vet immediately. If you wait to long to seek treatment you may lose him. Not being able to walk is one of the symptoms.

I have not dusted any of his food. From now on I will.

Really? Honey? You're not trying to be funny right? Sorry, I just really want him to get better.

Usually nightcrawlers are available at places like petsmart or pet supplies plus, but if they don't have them there you can find them at any regular fishing store. They should have nightcrawlers as bait.

If he doesn't eat them, you can take them out and try again another day. But a worm bin online. That way you can feed them and keep them healthy until your frog starts eating again. You can also catch worms outside, but they usually wont be as big as nightcrawlers.
