ACF can't use back legs?

[mintyfresh]

I'll do just that, thanks! Like I said, he looks better, so I am hoping and praying his condition improves. I will make sure the water is clean and he has food, should he want some. I'll post updates if anything changes. Thanks!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for the little guy! By the way, does he have a name?

Thanks Yeah, his name is Beavis...I used to have one named Butthead too (albino), but he passed away a while ago

You got some good advice already, just want to touch couple points. ACF's are very though; but not bullet proof. You frog is probably suffering Toxin Out Syndrome (TOS) and possibly that killed the other one too. First of all stop the Epsom Salts; it will make things worse. Second get a good dechlorinator (Seachem Prime, Tetra Aquatize, etc.) and use it with tap and any water even if labeled spring. Start doing daily 100% water changes with same temperature water. Idea is to leach out of frog as many toxins as possible. Do offer food during this time; but not allow it to stay more than 5 minutes if uneaten

What are dimensions of small tank frog is in? If too small, the water quality problem will continue . If you take water (half filled plastic sandwich bag) from 10 gal. to a pet store they should conduct free tests if asked nicely. Interested in pH, Ammonia, Nitrites, and Nitrates. Good luck !

Hey guys,

Beavis seems to be doing well. He still doesn't seem to have use of his back legs, but he looks fine and acts fine (unless I go to pick him up--he still scrunches up). He even tried to eat a nightcrawler (but it was too big so he spit it out--I cut one up but he wasn't in the mood for it)! I did, however, notice some white filmy stuff coming off of him--is this shed?

URGENT: I need help!

I went to change his water today, and to do that I move him from one container to another. However, when I went to pick him up, he started struggling and it looked like there were lumps on his back (a bunch of them) as he was moving. He eventually settled down and the bumps subsided, but I have no idea what they are and I am really worried. How can I change his water now??
