Twisted Frog?

[vivalabam]

Well I just got home, the first thing I did was force feed King, he really isn't in a good state at all. Although he did hve enough power to pee on me, which was lovely!

His eyes don't seem to be working, his bones are all soft, obviously from lack of nutrients for so long.

Although We have some giant Lob worms in, so I chopped the head off once, got his jaw open with a credit card and put the piece of worm in. e couldn't get it in his mouth very well, so I pushed it in more, I can see him trying to swallow, but I'm not sure if he can. I coated the worm in calcium as well! Fingers crossed he can swallow it and he can get a bit of strength up, and I'm going to try again later.

To give him some energy you can soak him luke warm de-chlorinated water with 3 drops of honey disolved in it. Makes sure the water is only up to his chin. You can also try pedialite(unflavored formula) at a 10 to 1 ratio. 10 parts water 1part pedialite. So for every 10 ounces of water add one ounce of pedialite. This must also be in luke warm de-chlorinated water. Food items to be fed to him should be no larger than the distance between his eyes. He is weak and won't be able to swallow anything larger. He may choke to death if the food item is larger.

The Pedialite bath is the best choice because it will provide nutrients and vitamins. You MUST! be very careful. He isprobably suffering from MBD(Metabolic Bone Disease) as well from lack of calcium. This combined with Scoliosis is very bad. Is he even able to move?

[vivalabam]

No not really, he is barely breathing.

No not really, he is barely breathing.

I'm sorry. There is nothing more that I can do. I'm not a vet or expert. Had action been taken much sooner he may have had more of a chance, but we will never know. As a last resort to try and revive some energy to maybe eat, try the Pedialite soak. Do you know what Pedialite is? He may pass anyway, but atleast you would have done all you possibly could to save him. it breaks my heart. I am truely sorry.

[vivalabam]

It's ok, thanks so much for your help, wish I could have been here sooner to do something.

I don't know what a pedialite soak is no,

Pedialite Bath: Pedialite can be found a larger supermarkets and is used to add electrolytes back in the body after being ill.

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.
