    Mine was active for the 1st week. Symptoms were blood vessels were visible in the lower legs... after the second week the blood vessels were bursting and it spread to the lower belly. She never ate and i had to force feed her by a syringe that I got from lynn.

    Red leg is technically not a disease, but a symptom, usually it's cause is bacteria, but sometimes it is virus and that is when like with Corey frog antibiotics won't help. Or it might be a frog was too weak to get through.

    I don't see anything out of ordinary in the pic, but it is not clear pics. I would try to get immune system up with reptibost and get some soaks going like Corey suggested.

    Your hospital set up is no good, being in there will stress a frog and thus his immunity is gonna be reduced.
    So try to find something a bit bigger, any plastic food or storage container will do. Then cover all 4 sides with something and see how it'll go after soaks.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Ive checked the frog again and i think im just paranoid. He's feeding
    and everything. ive put him back in his original tank with chrome.

    I 110% agree with you Lija, the quarantine tank is way too
    small, this was the only thing i could find so far.
