Help With a Sick / Hurt Leopard Frog

[Heatheranne]

Are you using calcium with vitamin D3 supplement? Any multivitamin?

Have you noticed any twitching motions?

[Mr Leopard]

My calcium supplement is just calcium. I haven't noticed any twitching. She seems pretty healthy except for her nose/lip. She's just as alert and active/inactive as ever. She was a bit skinny when I took the picture with the problem but I've increased her food over the past couple of days and she's on track to gain her weight completely back soon.

I've uploaded the pictures to Photobucket, so here they are:

Does anyone have a good care guide to recommend for true frogs?

[Mr Leopard]

I'm more and more convinced it hurt its nose on the lid of its transport terrarium, but I'm not sure (and I don't know what treatment can help).

This link to the pictures should work better: http://s736.photobucket.com/user/simdesign1/library/

Did you notice any wounds/rubs on the nose before it got to that point? Here is a good care article for you - http://www.frogforum.net/content.php...ocephala-(1886)

[Mr Leopard]

Thanks for the link.

I didn't notice any wounds/rubs on the nose before it got to that point. I noticed this shortly after a time when she got scared and jump all around her transport terrarium like crazy and hit her head on the lid several times. It's a standard plastic terrarium with a plastic grid on top. I've since added a piece of fabric (with air holes for additional air exchange) that I'll stretch under the top the next time I need it.

I'm wondering if it could be a wound that got infected, or a broken nose. Judging by human standards, it's been this way (with no noticeable change) too long for it to be regular hit-yourself-on-something swelling.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if your calcium does not have vitamin D3 she will not be able to absorb the calcium properly unless you are using UVB lighting.
