Swollen Frog? Please Help!

[Meer]

Oh no I have been using horrible water for my frog!! Could that be contributing to what's wrong with him? Where could I get things like R/O-rite or Electro-rite mentioned in that other thread to treat the R/O water? I would really prefer that to treating my yucky tap water.

My frog was an adult when I got him, although I think he was not full grown, he got bigger the first few months or so that I had him. That would make him four years old at the youngest. I'm trying to prepare myself that this may be the natural end of his life. But it might not, I'm not giving up yet. I want to do everything I can for him.

I really don't want to mention the name of the forum I was on before or say what happened. I shouldn't even have brought it up. It just wasn't a good fit for me personally.

Anyway, I am just waiting until morning to see about going to a vet. (it's 1 AM now, yay for insomnia )

Edit: Here's a picture

Looks like a healthy female gray tree frog from this angle. Can you take one from the side or the front please? I wouldn't rush off to the vet just yet.

I don't see anything wrong in the picture.

He is definitely male and there is definitely something wrong with him. He is very swollen and not eating for two weeks and is now very lethargic. I guess it's just not that obvious from that pic. Here is a second pic from the side.

I do NOT normally handle my frog but this was the best way to get a side pic and I had to move him to an ICU container anyway.

I'm afraid he may die before I can get him to a vet, but Saturday is the absolute soonest I could do it.

But if he does make it, about my water question, can R/O water treatment produces be found anywhere in the US? I've never heard of them before.

Is it getting cooler where you are? Recently we've had several people report Gray Tree Frogs no longer accepting food due to the cooldown. That could explain his appetite right now. As for his size, how do you know it's a male? Just because the throat is baggy like that doesn't mean it's a male - have you heard it call? Right now I'm going to guess the temperature is the issue and he's just well fed. He doesn't look bloated to me.

It could be a case of seasonal changes, but then again maybe not. To me that throat doesn't quite right. Personally, I would still have him checked out.
