    it's Chytrid i think, she's al ready on treatment, but she's not recovering her front leg's movement, but it's looking better.

    i'm using terbinafina, heat, and removing the excessive shedding with my hand's since she can't do it.
    any advice are welcome, i'm worried about the front legs, maybe i just kill her (don't know how yet) if she does not recover her legs, but time will say.

    thanks and sorry for my poor english.
    Chytrid does not cause them to not be able to move their limbs. It prevents them from absorbing water and moisture through their skin., but that does not mean that she may not have it. Some carry it. I wish there were more help we could provide. Perhaps you could find a Vet that specializes in Amphibians and see if they can offer assistance. It could be anything from a neurological problem to a vitamin deficiency. Possibly even MBD( Metabolic Bone Disease).

    Seek out the assistance of a Vet. This is your best chance to save her.

    Wee according go this article it could be possible for your frog to have Chytrid, but with out a specialist to test for the fungus there is no way to be certain. This is the first time I've read that Chytrid causes paralysis. There are many other symptoms as well that may not be apparent here, but it is worth a try.
