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

Try the antibiotics and see if they help

I had to put him to sleep today I woke up this morning and he had this large bubble hanging about an inch out of his mouth. He is in a much better place now. Thank you to everyone who replied on here. I really appreciate it.
