Sick pacman. Water Edema Syndrome.

Thank you soso much!!!! The epsom worked. She almost lost 50g of weight!!! I used the salt as recommended: 2,5g in 1l, temperature: 27,1°C, bathing time: 30min in a medium-sized container so she was covered almost half with the solution.
(I called the vet yesterday. He recommended a salt-bath with 2,5% NaCl-solution. It didn´t work at all. Obviously it has to be epsom!!!)
I will leave her for two or three days to destress her, then I will repeat the procedure.
I will post updates about the progress if anyone is interested!

I´m quite sure she has some problems with her little frog-kidneys. Probably her time left will be limited due to her disease. But hopefully I can offer her a nice time.

Fröschin didn´t make it. The vet made an ultrasound. You could clearly see, her enlarged and deformed kidneys. Although I could remove the subcutaneous water, I could of course not remove toxic metabolites from her body with this method.
I wish you all the best for your little frogys!

I think when they get this disease its usually fatal. My one frog got this and I had to put him down as his organs where beinging to shut down(according to vet) and he was leaking something from his but.

I'm sorry to hear this. Sadly kidney and liver failure is not uncommon in captive frogs.

Try again with another Pacman frog. Best of luck to you.
