Pacman Frog help with possible Tetany/MDB

[Frankie]

And yesterday as I tried to check up on him he stretched out his leg like this. Dont know if this will aid anything

Could be due to calcium deficiency during early development, but I cannot tell. The picture is very blurry, but the leg should be tucked in under the frog rather than extended.

I also got the ID wrong. That's a C. Cranwelli not a Fantasy Frog. Looked a bit like a Fantasy in the first picture. Anyway the body appears underdeveloped compared to the size of the frog's head as well.

I'm sorry about that, I wanted to take a pic before he stopped so I was rushing. But that was also after I had set him in the bath and he had peed a lot.

And finally this is a video of the spasms he has when eating, this is what had made me most afraid

You may be overreacting a little bit. The posture I see in the bath is normal and the leg stretching out is your frog attempting to lunge forward and not quite getting anywhere. I did not see any actual twitching or spasms that would be related to illness or disease.

You could provide a little extra calcium for a couple weeks just to see if anything changes, but as of now I do not believe you need to worry unless the frog loses control of the leg muscles and the leg begins to move and spasm constantly.

I would like to see a video of the frog moving around in it's enclosure. Especially like you described when the frog was getting back into it's burrow.

Keep us posted.

Will do, But as soon as I had read "damage can be illreversable" and "in serious cases can lead to death" I freaked out, a lot!

I'm going to try to change out his soil and bathe him again before this front moves in and see if that will be any aid
