URGENT! Sick Whites Tree Frog (Pictures included)
Hello everyone. This is my first thread and I would really like some advice.
I have a Whites Tree Frog (Kevin, about two inches in length) that I bought from Petco and a Baja California Tree Frog (Trevor, about an inch and a half in length) that I caught in the wild. They live together in a 10 gallon tank that gets misted 3 or 4 times a day. I have only had Kevin for about 3 weeks and he had no other issues until now. Him and Trevor sort of bonded and they sleep on the same leaf together during the day.
I noticed earlier this afternoon when I got back from school that Kevin was sitting in the corner of the tank looking very lethargic and bloated. I went and washed my hands and picked him up a bit too make sure he was alive. His breathing was weird and not steady. I tried feeding him and he wouldn't eat. I moved him into the water dish and looked up the symptoms on Google. After finding out that it was possibly a bacterial edema, I warmed up a little container with water and placed him in it. After about 10 minutes he seemed to feel better. He was hopping around a bit and swimming in the water. He looked quite happy and I figured he was going to be okay. I left him in the container for about an hour, ate dinner and came back to find him on his back, unable to move his arms at all. They were crossed across his chest and he can barely sit back up. I tried sitting him back up, but he keeps ending up on his back.
I am very worried about my little froggy. :[
