bubble/swelling on front leg

[DeeDub]

Nice looking frog...except for the disgusting bubble twin on it's arm. This is above my paygrade. Take it to the vet. Best of luck. Poor little fellow.

I know, I kind of figured that but was hoping someone here may have had a similar experience. I mean, wth is that??? And why did it pop up overnight???? Ugh. At least it doesn't seem painful until we can get to the vet tomorrow. Just remembered I can make an appointment now online.

My guess is infection, with it popping up overnight like that. The vet will probably just lance and drain it, maybe give you some antibiotics. Unless something we can't see is wrong he probably has a good chance of getting over this quick.

Thanks for at least taking a guess and making me feel better! I've only had him a month, and he was shipped so I don't know what his previous conditions were. Hopefully that's it.

Blah, the earliest I can make an appointment online is for Tuesday. I'll call tomorrow to see if they can squeeze me in, this bubble grew so fast I don't want it to wait.
I'll let you know what he says as even though I am mortified by the bubble, I am fascinated by it as well. I hate when I don't know what something is!

In other news, Petco had a Fantasy today. I didn't have the money to snag it (although it was normal priced), but if it's still there next week it's mine! My friend has a 15 gallon tank he no longer needs.

That's pretty sweet. I love when stores don't know what they have. There is a thread on here where someone picked up a "black throated fantasy frog".... Cornuta!!! Awesome find...now I need to find that stuff. All I'v found lately locally was an overpriced, turd brown with a little green fantasy that ended up with a deviated hyoid (bone in the throat?)?? I saw it when I went to pick it up and they wouldn't discount the little dude. He's still there and has at least fattened up some.

On a good note, I was pissed so I went and put an add on FC and Mikesfrogs replied pointing me to this site. Now I have two cornuta and a peppermint on the way tomorrow.. ;-)

[Burra]

Ok, he's exactly the same today, no worse, no better. He was hiding in his fake plant, probably because I scared him for the pics last night. He gets stressed much easier than my previous frog, so let's hope he's ok with his vet visit at 4:15 today! (That's EST for my far away froggie friends!)

Thanks for the help, I'll keep everyone posted on what the vet says.

Awesome! I'd love to get a cornuta someday! Like, after I pay this vet bill!

Except when they try to sell you a plain brown cranwelli for $40 because they are living in imagination land and think it's an ornate

with as much certainty as i can have over the monitor screen i think it is an abscess ( infection), location is pretty typical as well the fact of appearing over night, it needs surgical attention, take it to the vet asap. and please keep us updated.
