    I'm taking him back to the vet tomorrow so hopefully this time they can tell me what's wrong with him.

    I use cycled water to be more safe to my fbts,and I think it's a bloat or air do you keep him indoors like in your room , if it is do you have an air conditioner in the room?

    I have him in my living room without an air conditioner. I'll have to try the cycled water and see if that helps any. My vet said he has enema and gave me some solution to soak him in and baytril to squirt on his back twice a day. I hope the sweling starts to go down soon!

    Does anyone know how long a fbt stays bloated for when they are shedding? I just pulled something long and slimy off of him.. I think he could be shedding but hes been bloated for over a month.

    It only takes a frog a few minutes to shed and bloated for a month means that something is wrong. Could be a bacterial infection or something causing an Osmotic imbalance. Maybe even Edema. Even parasites can cause bloating. Is it a hard or soft bloat? Does it feel like fluid or air?

    My vet said it was probably edema but when I soaked him in the solution she gave me, the swelling didn't go down. She gave me some antibiotics for parasites too just in case. It is soft bloat, probably retaining too much water. She said something about maybe kidney disease, but I am definitely hoping that isn't the case
