I have (had) 4 firebellied toads that I got as tadpoles a couple years ago. They have all been healthy and good until about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I noticed one swimming on his back, I flipped him over and he kept tilting to the left. I put him in a sick tank with about 1.5 inches of water. He seemed to have problems with his left leg and when hopping would fall over on his back. After a few days he seemed fine (a little tippy in the water) so I kept him in the sick tank for a few more days. The last couple of days he looked fine so I put him back in with the other toads. This morning I found him upside down at the bottom of the tank and figured this was it he was dead. I went to get him out and he was very limp and felt like gelly BUT he moved! I put him on some paper towel and he lifted his head up but his back legs were straight out and he did not move them at all and didn't try to get away. I felt really horrible and was worried he might be suffering (not sure at this point if he had eaten in the last couple days). So I took him to the vets and had him put down, I didn't know what else to do and did not want him to suffer a slow death.

The other three toads seem to have bloated bellies - not sure if they are sick or have over eaten - I will be watching them closley.
