MBD in a Green frog?

[flybyferns]

Hi Caspian,
Is Bumpy an american green tree frog -Hylidae cinerea ?

[Gnag the nameless]

No, Bumpy is a Green frog (Rana Clamitans). Basically, a smaller version of the American Bullfrog (Rana Catesbiana)

She's in her hospital tank right now, with moist paper towels for substrate, and a water dish. Unfortunately, I had to use my partially cracked 5 gallon tank, but it is no danger to her, and she cannot break the glass.

I also just picked up an Exo Terra Calcium + D3 powder, and a Exo Terra Multi-Vitamin. I'm probably going to feed her in a schedule of: 5 crickets per night, each night dusted with the vitamin D3/Calcium, every 5 days Multi-Vitamin instead of the Calcium. Do you think this is a good schedule?

Also, her feet are still twitching, she's not hopping, but she's crawling around and swimming well in her water bowl. She definitely knows I'm there, and she's hiding, so she's obviously still got a lot of strength in her. I'm just hoping that she'll eat tonight. If she doesn't, I may be forced to force-feed her, which I am prepared to do.

I think that's a good feeding schedule.
However I am not experienced with bullfrogs, Caspian. Sorry
If she has been eating , why would tonight be any different?
I think Heath has a bull frog.- I'll give her a buzz.

Read and review a bunch of good care sheets and fine tune her care

Lynn,

Don't apologize, it's fine.

Well, she may be scared by the sudden move from her normal tank to the hospital one, but yeah, she'll most likely be eating away tonight.

Alright, I'll go message her.

Yeah, I've been so busy with my Chorus frogs and Salamanders, that I've not been paying as much attention to my other frogs, something I will definitely correct. Also, Bumpy's setup needed fine tuning. I'm definitely going to add a larger land area so it's easier for her to catch crickets.

Also, I've directed the UVB lamp towards her tank, so that might help.

Thanks this is the first time any of my frogs have been sick, so I'm really nervous. But I'm willing to bet Bumpy will pull through. From what I've researched about MBD, I'm thinking that Bumpy's case is only in the early stages.

Wow, you type fast Heather!

I'll put in a small bowl to place the crickets in, I've plenty lying around.

I'll get a photo of the hospital tank in a few minutes, if the battery on my camera is full.

I know exactly where some of the liquid calcium is, I'll pick it up ASAP

I'd just done some research on Tetany. As for Bumpy, the only symptoms of tetany I can see are the twitching of her toes, and lack of hopping.

I will definitely begin dusting her crickets more often, that's for sure. The same will go for Gnag's, though Gnag already has a pretty good diet of 1 earthworm every other day and 5-8 crickets per night.

Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it Hopefully, Bumpy will pull through
