Red Leg?

[John]

I forgot to say, red leg doesn't have to produce "red" legs - it can often kill the animal before getting that far.

Thanks for the info, he does not have anything that looks like hemorrhaging or broken blood vessels...just a pinkish tone...what a relief! Thanks again, and Happy New Year!

I just took some photos of my frogs there and noticed my whites has some pinkish undertones too, as im the same as lisa and i have never really flipped me frog over and they are usually hidden during the day.

But does anyone think mine looks strange?

Again, its probs nothing. Thanks guys

Thanks Kurt

I had a frog with red leg once you see, discovered that i had purchased it like that as it died a few days afer i bought it. Was awful to watch.

On a less morbid note tho....

Hope everyone had a good new years!

I had a wood frog, Lithobates sylvaticus be diagnosed with "red-leg" by my vet. There was no redness, so I was surprised by the diagnosis. With some antibiotics, it recovered with no further problems.

To avoid "red-leg" keep your frogs in appropriate size enclosure, as well as keeping it clean and sanitary.
