Budgett Frog Edema

[kar2888]

On the last day of treating my budgett frog with baytril, I've noticed he's swelled up like he's going to pop. His body, legs, are all swollen. Are there any methods of treatment I can use to help him? I've taken him to the vet, but the vet doesn't know much. Any help will do. Thanks

Get a gallon jug and fill it with dechlorinated water. Add 1 teaspoon of plain Epsom salt to the water. Make sure the water is luke warm and soak the frog for 20 minutes. This is looking bad. If you are still force feeding the frog stop imediately.

Do this once a day. Im uncertain at this point if it will work, but is worth a try.

Thanks grif, I'll try it. I only fed him the one time last week, was waiting for her to go to the bathroom before I fed her again.

Maybe that is the problem. Has she gone at all lately? If not then she may be bloating from becoming septic. If the blockage is fairly severe and the frog does not pass it an infection will set in and cause the frog to become septic.

I'm sorry that there isn't anything else I can do from here. Even if she doesn't make you sjould have comfort in the fact that you did everything that you could to save your Budgett's and no one could ask for anything else.

thanks for all your help grif, she died last night. Not sure why. The vet said it wasn't edema, but the night she died, she bloated up pretty big. Thanks for everyone's help.

I'm sorry for your frog's death . If it wasn't fluids collecting in body as you veterinary stated; what was his final prognosis?
