    Default Help! i think my milk frog just died :(

    I was just moving them to a bigger enclosure, got one of them into it fine, then i gave the other one the tinyest poke so that he would jump into the new one, and he sorta spazzed out and his back legs went outstretched and then he hasnt moved since and hes all floppy . I have no idea what happened and i dont know what to do!

    Is the frog breathing? Can you see a heartbeat on th frog's back or underside? Are the eyes responsive when you touch the back of the eyelid?

    Possibly a stroke. I am not sure what could have caused this. Could be that you scared the frog causing sudden heart failure. Could you post some pictures of the frog so members can have a good look at the frog?

    I am not sure what has happened. I see no apparent reason for the frog to die. I'm pushing more towards a stroke. I would try a warm soak in De-chlorinated water. I don't know if these frogs play dead or not, but if it did die the only way to know what may have happened now is by having a Herp Vet perform a Nechropsy to determine cause of death. The body looks fine.

    If the frog is truly dead I am sorry for your loss.
