PETSMART Put Down My Pacman WITHOUT My Permission!

[Heatheranne]

Hi KasaraWolf,

It's very sad to hear this. I'm surprised they did not call you first.

Low calcium levels is the usual cause leading to bone disease. It can be treated if caught early.

All frogs in captivity need a calcium supplement with vitamin D3. I wish they would have helped you with this. They should have a light dusting of the amphibian calcium/D3 every other day. They should also have a weekly multivitamin supplement. Repashy with calcium plus is a good brand. There are others also. Do not give both supplements on the same day.

There are liquid calcium supplants that can be used as a soak if you purchase the right one(s). This is not recommended for routine supplementation but is a good emergency treatment. I keep a bottle on hand.

I'm sorry for you and your frog .

Perhaps get things prepared in case you'd like another. Read the care sheet here. Most chain pet stores do not teach proper information.

Pacman frogs are great frogs.

It's heartening to hear. Once your tears pass, look forward and think of what you could offer a healthy frog as a pet.

We'll be here to help along the way.

Hugs!
