    no that is not correct. There is nothing in the pictures that would suggest MBD, although of course only X-ray diagnostics can confirm or not.
    The leading cause of prolapse is impaction, that is almost always due to swallowing something they can't digest - pieces of decor, coconut husk, moss, lots of chitin containing food ( mealworms, superworms), etc. Very rarely parasites are the cause.

    in that particular case I very strongly susspect a frog came impacted from petco.

    To Ganondorf - can you please describe how are you soaking, in what and for how long? Please don't soak in anything for now and use only sugar or very sugary water directly on the prolapse.

    It's been too long, it needs to be surgically fixed. You need vet!

    Edit - just saw that vets in your area are not exactly seeing frogs and you live a bit too far to come to us Try to call somebody else.
    you can pm me, I'll see it faster then here, I'll try to help you more.

    .
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
