The swelling looks to be a little asymmetric to me, it may be a localized edema. Keep an eye on it and if it swells any more over the next few days consult a vet.

Hmmm, one of mine looks this way today as well. Since this morning I noticed it. Mine is more symmetrical but she also is sleeping straight up and down. I was wondering if she was full of eggs as well. That would be kind of cool!
I've seen this same one swell up due to drinking and eating but this looks different to where they can't keep their legs close to their body. Hope yours and mine are ok.![]()
Well if she does have eggs, it's unintentional. I did not setup a breeding environment. If she does have eggs but cannot find a place to lay them, what will happen? Will she just lay them anywhere? Do they stay stuck inside her?
You need to simulate rain for eggs to develop. Also if it were eggs the frog would still be symmetical. This could be a localized edema more than likely. Monitor it and if it doesn't go away in a few days, see a vet. I lost an adult to a localized edema over a year ago. I have a froglet that develpoed an edema but has since gone away.
If it were edema, would the frog still seem "happy"? It eats and explores like business as usual.
Also, if it is edema, is it treatable without seeing a vet? Finding a vet here that actually knows about amphibians and not just thinks he does is pretty tough and expensive.
I understand that. I am not 100% convinced its an edema. Like I said, monitor it and if it get bigger or just doesn't go away it might be an edema. I am betting its not an edema, but time will tell.
