Short tongue syndrome in eastern american toads:

[PhunkeyPhish]

Thanks for the reply. I will heed your advice and broaden their diet, I know I should have been doing that all along but fell into what was easy and what they ate the best. Do you have recommendations for good online vendors for the live food?

As for having a vet assessment, I am a veterinarian, although am specialized in canine and feline internal medicine. However, having gone through veterinary school along with post doctoral training in specialty settings, I know very well the severe limitations of exotic veterinary medicine, especially with amphibians. The previous toad of mine was actually assessed by an exotics veterinarian (although little experience with toads) and I think misdiagnosed that toad. That being said, finding a qualified amphibian veterinarian is a challenge and would argue there are only a handful in the country and the majority of exotics medicine comes down to history and physical examination so think that with their history, the previous findings of the now deceased toad and the recent clinical signs of these two I have a strong suspicion of what is going on. My main question is, how often do you guys see these clinical signs resolve when they are fairly mild once vitamin supplementation and variation in diet is started?

Thanks again,
