Sick or Simply not Hungry?

[Geoff]

The only things I can add to my last post is that if, as you say, your frog is eating after all, then it's unlikely you have anything to worry about because sick animals usually do not eat at all. Also, the behaviour traits of individual frogs aren't always entirely consistent with those of their tank mates. My advice is to stop worrying unduly because, based on the information you've provided, in my opinion, there's no significant problem with your frog.

HI PP

Defo keep up the tank cleaning �� and go from there # it's a misconception these guys wild live in boggy murky dirty water and will be fine# yes they do live in that habitat and love it* but there is no amonia nitrate or nitrite in wild conditions so please 25% water change weekly(using gravel siphon) and break down filter monthly����

KEEP POSTING YOUR FROGS LOOK BRILL

Now I'm a bit concerned. I woke up this morning to find this. His left leg almost appears to have a mass of sorts. It's hard to see in the pictures, but it's especially noticeable to the naked eye.

Sorry PP am more into prevention than cure hopefully someone can help your Froggy

I hope so. I love this frog, and I'm very saddened by his condition.

How's the fella getting on PP

I wish I could give a better report. He's still hanging on, but it doesn't look promising. One of his toenails fell off, but appears to be growing back. One of his eyes had a red splotch on it, and the swelling on his leg almost became bruised looking. After a few days it appeared to be going down, and the red on his eye had disappeared completely. Unfortunately Friday night I came home and saw what I could only assume to be a very nasty fungal infection - the webbing on his hind legs had white spots and there were a few cottony looking spots on his body. The red eye from before re-appeared, this time on the opposite eye. I immediately administered some fungus medicine, and the following day I gave the gravel a thorough vacuuming. The tank right now hasn't been refilled since yesterday. I watched him shed his skin today (which he has been doing a lot since this started) and there was a pretty nasty red blotch on a piece of it. As of right now, the swelling on his leg is down to about where it was in the pics, maybe less so. The red eye is still there. The white spots on his body and webbing appear to be gone. He can still keep himself down at the bottom of the tank, but seems to be hanging out at the top most of the time. And sadly, he simply does not want to eat anything. He's a fighter, I'll give him that.
