Shadix, please answer the questions above also, but it sounds like your frog has low blood calcium. Has your dad been using calcium with vitamin D3 supplements?

Pick up some Flukers Liquid Calcium supplement. Give him a lukewarm dechlorinated water soak with about 1 drop of calcium per 1 ounce of water and soak for 15 minutes. Then change the water out to dechlorinated water.

Also, start using powdered calcium/vita D3 lightly dusted on his food. Do this daily for the next 3 days, and then if the twitching resolves, move to every other day.

If you have a good frog (herp) vet nearby that knows how to treat frogs they can give him a calcium gluconate injection which will work quickly.

If your frog will not eat, then I'd recommend finding a vet or doing the calcium soaks daily until symptoms resolve.

He will also need other electrolytes. Pick up some unflavored, plain, clear Pedialyte. You can not do both soaks at the same time, they need to be spread out. The calcium replacement is more important at this time. We will teach the proper way to do a Pedialyte dilution soak once the tetany (symptoms of low blood calcium level) resolve.

This can be treated if you do not waste time.

Crossing fingers for you!
