natural color or something worse?

My albino has slightly pinkish/red legs, but only on the top. I heard the dreaded red leg Cain be pretty terrible so I will try to post Somme photos on my phone or from a laptop.

Also maybe pink/beige describes it. He has similar coloring on his arms. It kind of matches the skin on his belly.
Activity wise he is doing fine and eating normally. No lethargy and lots of swimming.
But I will still post pictures.

My other frog was looking a little bloated so they are in separate hospital bowls.
I am using maycin 2 and a dash of salt.
However I wonder if she is not bloated, but growing? Everything seemed symmetrical. I still am going with treatment.

Also has anyone tried lymnozine? I don't know if pet stores carry it, but it's similar to koizyme?

On a second look it may be his coloring. The webbing between his arms and body are the same color.

However for the one I think has bloat;
She is also very active. Could it be she ate too much or is growing?

Also that was a phone typo. Red leg CAN be very horrifying

Hi,

without pictures, it´s very hard to help you... some albinos do have a pinkish hue, but without seeing the frog, I can´t tell. Can you upload some (sharp) photos please? The same goes for the bloated frog.

This is our male Cecil, the one in which I was concerned whether this was his natural coloring or an early sign of red leg


And this is our female Carlos, the one in which I was concerned if she had bloating or if she was just growing up and filling out her shape.
This is a photo progression of her abdomen, eventually the swelling went down but at this point I'm confused if she might be bloated or if this is just perhaps regular digestion habits? It seems she had a lot more fecal material in her holding tank thank the other frog.

Hi,

unfortunately, the quality of the photos isn´t very good. From what I can see: I don´t think that frog no. 1 shows signs of Red Leg and the second one just seems to like to eat

I´ll show you some pics of my frog Edward, who died with Red-Leg-like symptoms (Red Leg isn´t an actual disease, but a complex of symptoms caused by a bacterial or viral septicaemia):



I noticed the first symptoms (he was listless and his legs were slightly swollen and reddish) in the afternoon an isolated him (clean tank, no decor, no chance that he could have hurt himself); the next morning, he looked like this I took him to a vet, but he died the same day. The photos were taken after his death, but this is how I found him in the morning. So the progress was very fast, from a perfectly healthy frog to death in about 36 hours. Therefore, I don´t think your frog has Red Leg, but I would watch it very closely.

Edit: If you are concerned that something might be wrong with your frogs, please give us some information on the keeping conditions (see Thread "Trouble in the Enclosure": http://www.frogforum.net/aquatic-cla...enclosure.html).

Thanks. I can see that there the albino is a little color inconsistent. I tried to put the best photos of the two I had. Right now I plan on getting koizyme for their temporary tank (after they get treatment) and cycling a larger tank and also adding the same preventative care.

Also I added some photos so you can kind of see how he looks. To me it looks like his skin is just more translucent in some lights. Especially because he seems to be pretty energetic and a healthy frog.

Let me know with these new photos
