Is this bloat?

[craig121]

That guys a total Bozo! any idiot that chucks lumps of Salt rock into a tank(without dissolving) knowing full blown well that frogs will eat anything in its path has no credibility especially telling you how much it almost chocked to death! also hes adding medication to his tank &! running a charcoal filter!! OK that was the final stopping point, never did I hear it stated salt gets added to every water change but I wish your frogs good health,

Now that you said it I can see why the video was flawed. But what about the other website? I'm going to read the instructions on the salt box and add just a little bit. Even if it doesn't fix the bloat, it probably won't do anything bad for the frogs unless i dump half the salt in (which im not planning to do )

Preventative is always better than cure" why would BOZO"s frog have bloat first place?

The other Website gave no instructions , seriously m8t do not add any Salt to the main tank unless you wish to increase water hardeness PH above 7 until max 8, these guys like ph around 7.5, now if your PH waters already 7.5 and your adding salt continously it will stress the frogs.

I do not believe at this point your frog has bloat(but even if he does small quantaties of salt will not cure! and what about the other guy),,,,,, IF he starts showing signs of ballooning like a Michelin man this is the time to act, the tried and proven method I will list below
Am not shouting lol it was copied and pasted, reason most of my posts are this large was due to phone posting I could not see, but now am on laptops these days
Also if bloat diagnosed you need to adminster Marcayln correct dosage

The easiest way to treat the frog is to put him in a plastic container (like Rubbermaid) about 3 gallons in size. Put a gallon of conditioned water with about a half-teaspoon of epsom salts. Water temperature should be about 72 degrees. Dissolve the salt before putting the frog in. Don't put anything else in the container. Punch some small holes in the lid for ventilation. Leave the frog in the bath for 1 hour each day . Replace fresh water and salts each day. never leave frog unnatended if any signs of distress remove, the max treatment is 10 days! thats 1 hour each day for 10 days, do not treatmore @ this point , leave frog in MAIN tank and no more salts if condition does not improve seek immediate vetenary advice on Aspiration procedures which I previously posted if your vets unfamiliar

The reason its 1 gallon in 3 gallon container is the frogs comfort, he should still be able to keep his head above water level as the salt levels for eye comfort, do not drown him in salt water

Well I added 6 table spoons of salt and some stresscoat+ and dissolved it and added it to the tank.

5 hours later the frog looks like this. And when it moves it doesn't jiggle like a water balloon. I can also see the stitch marks again. The new problem is what do I do with all the left over salt. I have so much of it left.

What are you talking about? The frog is perfectly fine, it's eating and lost all the juices that were stuck in it's body. Are you implying that I'm trolling you because I didn't listen to your advice? It's a well known fact aquarium salt is good for fish, so why wouldn't it be good for frogs? I used it once to cure a pleco who had a broken jaw and lip, so i listened to my gut feeling and put it in the tank.
