Help! New (two weeks of ownership) Frog seems crippled

[Gage]

Hi, thank you so much for your response. I will really look all of this over and get the supplies. Unfortunately, the little guy didn't make it through the night.

He has a LOT of decay and damage on his hands and feet... I have no idea when it started, but it was less than a few days in the making. His tank-mate is totally healthy (even escaped again last night...fixed that problem up once and for all with some tape), so I don't know, but I shade away from the belief that it is the tank. I really have no idea.

They are pretty new, so it's possible it wasn't healthy to begin with. I wasn't able to get a vet exam before I relocated after buying them.

Ugh... so many unanswered questions. R.I.P. Trust. May your next life be less stressful buddy.

Phil, very sorry to hear about your loss, it saddens me that you did not get the help or advise till only 24 hours ago!! More often than not, symptoms can be well established before a proper diagnosis or treatment plan is underway. I have however got some friendly words of advice for you and others that may find themselves in the same situation. It would be wise to completely strip down the enclosure your frog was in. Take it back to the bone, removing all interior decor, furnishings and substrate. Thoroughly soak, clean and discard any unsightful medium as a matter of course. Only then would you be safe in the knowledge that your other and apparently 'healthy' (and I say that lightly) frog can lead a long and prosperous life in your care.

**Although your other frog may seem bright and healthy now, be sure to keep a close eye on him. Making sure that none of the symptoms start to show. If they do Phil, then both myself and Lynn have provided you treatment plans based on our experience and knowledge - remember, prevention is better than the cure. Your frog relies on you so don't let him down. If in doubt just ask!! Best of luck Phil and I wish you well.
