What is happening to my frog??? PLEASE HELP

[CJ PELCHER]

Did he have no use of his back legs since the day of quarantine or after? Do you have photos of the frog/quarantine tank? This can help us determine the problem. However yours seems very severe and may need a vet visit. Im sorry your going through this. How long have you had him?

He has been having little "seizures" for a while now, but nothing like this. He's contorting in these weird postures, his eyes are kind of bulging in and out...it looks like he's dying :'( I don't know what to do! I was changing the water in his quarantine tank and so he was in a little container...I am afraid I will hurt him if I put him back in. And it seems like he can't get to the surface for air, though I could be wrong.

This sounds like a general health issue that cant be fixed by local treatments. A vet visit sounds in order, however don't quote me on this. I will alert the moderators on this so you get attention to this ASAP.

I would love to take him to the vet, but I have no money and I don't know if I could move him :'( I will try to get that arranged, though I don't know what to do in the meantime. What if he can't breath on his own? And it looks like he sort of has a "humped" back...though this could be water distortion.

I have alerted "JENSTE" one of our ACF moderators. She should be more of assistance on this matter.

Sincerely,

Corey

Thank you so much! I've done a ton of research but nothing solid has come up

My apologies, I wasn't on the past couple of days.

If you could upload a picture or better yet a video of one of his episodes it would be very helpful. Unfortunately, I think this may be a neurological issue and don't know a remedy other than conforming his environment to suit his illness.

Is he eating? If so then he may be able to live a while with this. Keep his environment sparse - no decor he can bump into or get stuck in. Shallow, so he can breathe.

Hi, thanks for the response.

I would hate to induce one of his episodes...they look so awfully painful and I can't stand to watch :'( Is there any other way?

Unfortunately, he has not been eating :/ I will try to feed him again, though. He has no decor, but I don't know how to change his water because he may have an episode
