I called my regular vet this morning and as I suspected, he doesn't see frogs. There's one exotic vet I've found, but it's expensive and not close, which means I would have to take off work to take him, and I have not been able to do so. Not to mention the expense in just getting there, plus just an exam is $55, any treatment will be well beyond that, and I'd lose wages by not working for at least half a day. I simply don't have a couple hundred bucks to spend. As stated originally, a vet just isn't an option.

He was still alive this morning but didn't look any less swollen. He's pretty firm like a full water balloon, as you describe. Did your ADF pull through? Were there things you tried to treat it that worked/didn't work?

Thanks so much for your input. I'll look forward to hearing what your vet says.
