    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
