Back Leg Issues

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.

It is strange. His legs are limp, and useless, yet I saw him climbing pothos, and eating FFs, and also found a poop nugget. I don't know if he is recovering, fading, or simply surviving... His legs are still a bit swollen, but seem to be lessening... I am at a loss for what to do... Any advice would be very appreciated!

It looks like you only have two options at this point. Either take him to the vet or wait it out. Leave him quiet and undisturbed. Don't fuss with him at all..just mist and feed.

Here is the update...

He hunts and eats with a ton of vigor! He often misses FF's when they are off of the ground though(Like on pothos or an Oak Leaf)??? When the FFs are passing by his front feet or face, he is on target. He actively stalks FFs, and just has a no quit attitude. But, as we know, nature tends to put on a show of health until the end.

Maybe this is significant,maybe not... He has never(to my knowledge) been to the right side of the Viv. Like he is simply staying in a few spots here and there, but never traveling far beyond...
