HELP ASAP! Pippin isn't moving!

[Lija]

how is he now? any better? Michelle has good point - do you dust crickets and how?

What you can do for vet though is to contact dr. frye, if you need any meds you can just contact any clinic near by, explain what do you need and get from them.

where in Ontario do you live, I'm pretty sure there are some very good herp vets around there. unfortunately they might be off for holidays.

The yes I gut load and dust my crickets.

Dr Frye doesn't ship to Canada

Closest herp to me that I have found is over an hour away and I don't drive on the highways that I would have to take there.

This will be night 3 without eating. He has not moved at all since last night and I have given him 2 baths, one last night and one this afternoon.

Hard to tell if he is even still alive =( I saw him blink around 5pm

I'm sorry Rae. I don't come to the Tree Frog Forum very often.

Is there any skin discoloration? Blisters or cysts? Bloating can be caused by Toxicosis(Toxing Out Syndrome), over feeding, kidney failure, edema, and Liver cancer.

Paralysis can also be caused by many things including Chytrid.

Answer these questions and repost the answers here. http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...enclosure.html

Rae, sorry about your frog. This may come too late, but losing control of the back legs could be a sign of metabolic bone disease/lack of calcium. I know you dust and gut load your crickets but there's any number of variables affecting how much of a given nutrient is actually absorbed by an individual frog. I think someone already mentioned the pedialyte/honey bath. You could also mix that solution with some of that calcium supplement you use to dust your crickets. Exoterra has a liquid electrolyte and D3 supplement sold here (first item). I've never used it though, but it seems like it could be helpful for treating calcium problems.

The bloating could be due to impaction. Is there any risk of that in their enclosure? Finally, there's a chance all of this is caused by a disease or infection, and if so, there may be no alternative but to seek help from a vet - though you've already indicated that this is a problem. A last resort might be antibiotics like metronidazole or duramycin, but you need to find a suitable concentration and dosage. I may be able to help with the research, if it comes to that.
