I wish I had some advice, besides that you might need to take him to an actual vet that will see frogs just in case supplements alone won't be enough. Good luck, and if I find something on metabolic bone disease that looks helpful I'll post it.

If its mbd make a uv chamber and yes stuff his *** with calcuim d3. For the uv chamber get a uvb 150 id say 16w so its not too bright, tin foil the tank sides(oooooooh shiny) and pray. Aside from maybe special meds vets use the uv tent mostly around here.

Ive also read prolonged exposure to lights that are too bright can fiddle with their vision, bad.... but seems to not be the case...

Have you soaked it in warm pedialyte and honey yet? Might also be highly backed up in the plumbing if ya know what i mean....

It's not MBD, he has short tongue disorder. It's a lack of Vitamin A so You want to get Repashy Supervite. Back off on the calcium, native toads don't need as much as frogs do. Toads also need their vivs on teh dryer side, they DON"T like it wet and humid unless you're breeding them. I feed my toads twice a week and alternate between the repashy calcium and the supervite. Also your toad doesn't need special lighting either. I don't use CFL or fluorescent either, only LED.
