    Default Please see if you know what is wrong

    Hello I have 2 Fire belly toads.
    I went to feed them today and noticed my older one (male) kind of floating in the shallows.
    I tried to take him out he flipped on his back and just floated there I got him out wrapped him in a towel and now he is in warm water (just a bit) with a dash of honey.
    He is defintely sick and just is kind of lying on his stomach.
    I have pictures. I also notice he looks chubbier than yesterday and has a bit of fluff like when a goldfish dies

    I moved him onto a warm cloth on the land of the tank. He seems to have very poor motor skills. I have no idea what to do as no vets or stores are open right now

    I don't see anything that would be causing issues. Can you get him to a vet tomorrow? I'm sorry I can't help more.

    That is good to hear Thank you yes I will try. It's too bad because I know that he lived with a few different owners mostly being little boys so I am not sure what his situation was like before. He always acted a bit funny from the time I got him and he is a poor eater
