My poor little albino

Good to hear. Maybe it was just taking awhile to recover from the impaction.

As I mentioned in another post, the frog bloated up again after feeding it. I think it's bloating is gone now but haven't unburied him to check. I did hear from Dr. Frye and he suggested a medication that should help with the bloating and recommended a first aid kit with a few meds to keep on hand at all times. Wow -- never have had a vet suggest that, they always want you to bring the animal in and if meds are necessary, only give enough for the treatment that is needed at the time. Guess that may be one difference between an online vet and the local vets. Regardless, I strongly recommend ANYONE having a first aid kit / some common meds on hand for the animals they have, especially those people who have several pets like I have. I kept a couple different antibiotics, among other things, when I kept small animals. So I will be getting the meds he suggested. He also suggested not feeding the frog for a few days. I'll watch it's weight and act accordingly.

Another overdue update. I decided on a wait-and-see approach -- no meds. I gave him a piece of worm every 2 - 3 days (force fed a few times). I think a week ago I offered him a piece of worm, teased him with it, and he ate it. Since then, the next time about 2 days later, he went after the worm piece with gusto, fed him 4 pieces, then another good feeding last night. No bloating for the last week. I've been going slow since he was bloating. But I think he's recovered now.

I hope that all is well now and that perhaps it was just some indigestion. This can happen to pretty much all animals. Keep a good schedule for feeding.
