I went outside this morning and found a frog floating all sprawled out in our little pool. I thought it was dead but it started swimming when I tried to scoop it out. My 5 year old daughter (who LOVES frogs) grabbed it out of the water. He was very bloated looking and his underside almost looked translucent from all the water. I have no idea how long he was in the pool but he seemed very tired because he held on to my daughter's hand and wouldn't hop away. So she just sat and let him cling to her hand for awhile and eventually he started climbing around her fingers (much to her delight). Once he seemed recovered we released him under a large shrub.
Do you think he'll be ok? The chemical levels in the pool shouldn't be very high.
Any ideas what kind he was? I think some sort of tree frog because he had those sticky feet. We live in southeast Missouri.
Yes, my daughter wears sparkly dresses to catch frogs.
