URGENT- Sick Golden Bell Frog- HELP NEEDED

[BlueKiwiOca]

Ugh, this is getting confusing.. Still haven't been able to do anything for Mr Blobby in the meantime, but he's hanging in there and seems to be surviving ok..

So basically any colour-free electrolyte solution? In the meantime, what would a honey bath do? I haven't fed him in a couple of days, I've been scared of stressing him out and numerous other things.

Yes, but good luck on that - I've been looking myself (online and in Henderson), and can't find unflavoured electrolyte solution so far. Four different flavours, but no plain!

They often don't eat for a couple of days after a move, and they can go a week without eating, usually, without harm. You could just offer food, and watch to see if he takes it.

If you have not located the plain baby electrolyte solution, just offer some food and see if frog will eat .

Tried offering Mr Blobby some dusted wingless fruit flies after a nice relaxing honey bath... but to no avail. He's still very bloated, with a rounded tummy, and when I held him up to the light (on a plastic spoon lol) I could see a dark shape to one side of his belly... probably his stomach, but I've not seen it so prominently on any of the other frogs I have. Because he was in a terrarium with bark substrate (before I removed it) and being fed on mealie worms, is it possible he's impacted? How can I get him to pass the impaction if he has one?

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
