Concern for White's Dumpy Health

[MsKerry]

I am a beginner, concerned about one of my two Dumpys...he looks thin (and dehydrated) and has been very lethargic (sleeping for days in the same corner of the tank).

I have read a lot, and learned a lot from the knowledgeable people in this forum, but I could still use your help in the identification of the problem and suggestions to help improve his health.

Below are pictures that I hope will help....physical comparison of the two, underside of the brown one (can't tell if it looks like red-leg or not), and the habitat I keep them in (I have quarantined the him from the green one while I figure this out).

I hope one of you 'expert owners' can help me help my Dumpy!

Thanks so much!
Kerry

I don't have an explanation for what is going on besides the chance of parasites or worms being an issue. A fecal exam with a local herp vet may be in order.

You definitely need to get something into your frog to help him though so I would suggest and pedialite bath to get some nutrients into him.

Here is some info from another post on Pedialite Baths:
For the electrolytes, lots of people use unflavored pedialite (which is what I use). Stay away from the flavored stuff, no telling what that has in it. Unflavored pedialite looks like water and has barely any taste. Drop this in warm water (mid-70s or room temp) at a 10/1 ratio (10 water, 1 pedialite, so like...10 ounces of water, one ounce of pedialite) and mix it in, then give the frog a bath for 10-20 minutes to let it soak in the nutrients.

Hope this helps

Kerry, to me it does not look like your frog has red-leg. When a frog does have red-leg, the legs and the belly are undeniably red, sometimes to the point where they look like they may start bleeding. How long have you had the frogs for? Do you see them eat?

He does look pretty thin, if he isn't soaking, keep him hydrated by misting him. I would definitly take him into a vet.
