Need Help: froggie sick:(

oh, well i still wouldnt be to concerned. once they are about 3-4 inches its not as big of a deal if they miss a meal every once n a while even if it lasts for a week or so (unless its a continuall occuring problem). You said you cleaned the enclosure and that is exactly what i would have done so now just give it some time. make sure also that he has proper heat on him. if the eye becomes inflamed then you may want to get that checked but even that doesnt seem like a big deal. you seem to have a normal African Bullfrog! Great Job!!!! (:

Ty Matt yeah he's not blinking and scratching his left eye as much but I notice he still lethargic one of my friend told me to get Melvin and soak him for a while and make sure that the left eye is getting wet also coz he saids it sounds like bacterial

NO! NO! NO! Please dont do that! If it gets inflamed THEN treat! time will heal most wounds or mild infections! treating for anything and everything is the MAIN reason people kill African pixies all the time! these are VERY hardy animals and as long as their setup is correct they can handle themselves just fine. Please just let time and his immune system work this one out! it makes his immune system better against the next attack!

R u sure My friend? Coz he is lethargic when I pick him up , plus the guy I'm talking about is one of the well known breeder here in the state and not just another noob hobbyist like me

Sorry, i was talking about his eye problem. the lethargic thing is something that only you can determine. wish you all the best!

I'm very sorry for your loss .

There is no substitute for vet care and that infection and lethargy needed to have been treated. I also believe I missed this thread .

In the future please do not hesitate to take your frog to a vet. You can never be too careful
