    Default still need help.

    Hey guys. Im still having a lot of trouble with my frog. I forcefed him last friday and he hasnt eaten since. I took him out for a bath today and noticed he looked strange. I began feeling his sides and his right side was HARD so I left him in warm water for a while. I think he did a little but it was diarria. but he wouldnt pass anything big. I just placed him in his tank a few minutes ago. So a few things. Should I force feed again. Ive been placing food in his cage right in front of him every night. Or should I wait till he poops. Im not really sure what to do.

    Yes its a hard lump on the right side. The last time he had a honey bath was on Sunday and he didnt pass anything then. And when I bath him its usually for 15-20 minutes.

    Bathe him daily and for every 10 ounces of water add 1 ounce of Unflavored Pedialyte then make the honey bath out of this solution. Make sure the water is 80° to 82°. Make sure the water is no deeper than up to his chin.

    Soak the frog for the same time limit or until the water cools then prepare a second bath of just dechlorinated water same temp and depth and soak for the same time. During each bath gently massage the lump on the right side in small circles.

    Try this and see if it helps. Keep me posted.
