Back Leg Issues

[JBear]

I have a Vitt, acquired today. It was shipped overnight, but arrived in 2 days time. Upon arrival it was cold as hell. After 10+ hrs in the Viv, it is still not showing signs of mobility. It has eaten a few FF's, and appears alert. However, the back legs are just unnaturally positioned. I was told that high stress can cause seizures and muscle failure, and that if given ample time to recover, the frog should begin to behave normally. The seller has been great throughout the process, and it was not the fault of him/her... It was UPS' failed overnight(twice in a row) delivery pledge.

My question is this... Could the high stress have created the need to shed(After I move any of my other amphibians to a new home, it sheds as a way to deal with the move and become accustomed to the new surroundings), and the cold shipping created a problem when "actual" humidity dropped? In the pics(see below) you may see where the new skin has begun and the old skin is failing to shed, or at least it appears...

Thanks!

The frog is exactly the same after the night. I hope I can encourage him to finish his shed, so that I may be able to better understand what the issue may be...

Hey. How's your frog? Is it getting better?

I read somewhere u give frogs extra calcium after a bout of hypothermia, which is what I assume is what's going on. Did u ever get word or advice back from any1?

He dissappeared into the crevices/leaves/pothos early yesterday. I don't know if there has been any sort of rebound. I am nervous to go wripping through the tank and stress him anymore than needed. I am desperately trying to be patient!

Thanks for the concern and care, I will keep you all updated.
