Help! My frog is incredibly bloated!

[ghettoted]

Thanks Kurt. I live in Toms River I see there is a vet right down the road from me. I will go tomorrow morning. Strangely enough, the bloating has subsided considerably right now.

This is great to hear, maybe he passed whatever it was

I have something called "Fluker's All Natural Moss" but I never liked to use it because it was so messy and the crickets would just hide underneath it. Of course I'm an amateur so I will be using it in the future. Thanks guys for the late night help. Much appreciated as always.

You're always welcome

Oh man. I don't see any breathing and I lifted up his bowl and put it back down and he didn't flicker the slightest. His eyes are nearly fully shut. I'm afraid to touch him don't want to disturb anything. Think he's a goner?

Put him in a small dish of lukewarm water and a teaspoon of honey. Or Pedialyte if you have it. Let him soak for 1/2 hour and see what happens.

Edit: Keep his head above water.

Have to go run out and buy some honey. I'll post the results of what happens. Again many thanks for your tireless efforts.

I don't really want to say, since I am not there. I hope he's not.

[Paul Rust]

I gotta go for now, I hope it turns out ok. After he soaks put him back in the enclosure. Good luck.

I would use leaf litter myself to cover up the coconut bedding. They can't eat it so easily and it provides some natural predation situations, i.e., crickets can hide under it only to be nailed by a waiting, hungry frog when they emerge fom it.
