URGENT- Sick Golden Bell Frog- HELP NEEDED

[Heatheranne]

Yay!!!!!! Go Ned! This is a great sign .

For Mr. Chubbs, I think I'd give him a nice calcium soak today also. I'd do a calci soak then give him a bit to relax. later on do some pedi mix drops. just mix a small amt and do a few drops onto his back with the needless syringe. Poor little fella. I hope he comes around. Hang in there.

Thank you Heather. I'll do just that.
I really hope he makes it too. I feel like if Ned can do it, so can Chubbs.. I'll keep trying

So cute!

I think maybe it did... he seems to have been perking up a little over the past few days... touch wood this is an actual improvement, not just me being overly optimistic!

Crossing fingers!

Well... he's still hanging in there. Yesterday I gave him a Pedialyte soak, but in the evening he seemed to have gotten worse... he was very weak. So me being the sentimental person I am decided to get my nice camera out and take some beautiful photos of him in case he passed away overnight. It didn't seem to stress him out too much. I woke up this morning, and thankfully he was still alive and kicking-- he'd climbed the wall of his hospital tank, bless him.
I think I'll just continue trying to get his energy up, so Pedialyte soaks daily, and a calcium soak every second day. Should I try a Repta-Boost soak again? It seemed to give him more energy...

Also, I'm still referring to Mr Chubbs as a "he"... but Mr Chubbs may actually be Miss Chubbs... He/she is a similar size and build to Pippin haha

Here are the photos, the file sizes are too big to upload directly to the forum

What a beautiful frog! Yes, you could try the reptaboost.

I can really appreciate how hard you're trying for him or maybe her.

I know this is late but it looks like red belly read this to help with future problems http://frogdaze.com/site/mobile?url=...ctor.html#2903

It's not red-leg. I've noticed all my frogs tend to get a reddish belly and legs if they're stressed out. In any case, Mr Chubbs isn't red at all any more, he's a pale creamy colour on his underside. But thanks for the contribution I'm still trying to figure out what's got him laid low

[BlueKiwiOca]

I'm obviously being a little slow here lol. Mr Chubbs likely has MBD. I say this because Ned had it, and they were both on the same diet, and Mr Chubbs symptoms fit those of MDB: lethargy, no appetite, he's stopped jumping, and the other day I saw some of his toes twitching (also, his back toes are all stuck together and don't grip things properly) it's like Deja Vu.

So I guess it's the vigilant calcium soak regime all over again! And I'll keep giving him Pedialyte and Repta-Boost soaks, they help a lot with his energy. I feel much better now that I know what I'm dealing with

[Heatheranne]

I agree.
