HELP! - Sick Leopard Frog

[Ayeager17]

I have a juvenile leopard frog that just fully lost his tail about 2 weeks ago. Up until the past several days, he's been fine. A couple of days ago, I noticed that he seemed to be contorted to the right and couldn't swim/hop properly. Other than the unnatural position, his skin is fine, eyes clear, etc. In the past two days, he's become lethargic and won't eat. From everything I've read, it would seem that he may have chytrid. Pollywogsworldoffrogs recommends a bath of Lamisal AT and distiller water for 10 days. It's day 2 and no results yet. Any advice? I am afraid I may not be treating the right problem

Can you upload an image? Is it an actual change in positioning or does your frog favor movement to one side? I don't think chytrid causes contortions.

Hence my doubts about chytrid. Seems that the neurological issues often occur in advanced stages (if at all) and follow the skin issues. I've got a couple pictures, but it's really hard to tell as its way more apparent when he's on the move. I'll give it a shot though.

I thought he may be suffering from dropsy, but then noticed that it may have been his positioning that made his belly appear bloated. Does that ever just happen on one side?

Got some better pics when I was giving him his treatment.

Better pics show the odd angle he's positioned at. He has real difficulty swimming and getting around due to this. Still no skin issues

I hope someone more experienced can weigh in but it seems like it could be an injury to the spine/shoulder area, parasites (if there are bumps under the skin or runny poop) or some neurological condition.

Someone else suggested that a frog might have an ear infection but I have no idea if they knew what they were talking about.

That seems like an injury may be the best bet. Now, I just need to figure out what to do now. The vets that treat exotics are on vacation this week, so hopefully he'll hold until next week and I can get him checked out

Sorry if it's a sore subject, how did he get on?
