    Default Pac man Problem persists new pics

    Hello again,
    I had posted up some pics of Georgia previously when she acquired a "bump" on her leg. As you can see it has become a full swollen leg. I've been soaking her in a Tetracycline bath as one day on one day off and it seems to be a bit better but, I dont know for sure. I'm only using my eyeball as a measure.
    Anyway, I tought that maybe these pictures would be more helpfull in determining what it could be. Please and thanks for all suggestions and thoughts.

    If at all possible, get her to a good herp vet ASAP. Unfortunately, you may not have long. I believe that she has a bacterial infection and needs antibiotics right away. The bacteria may not be sensitive to Tetracycline, or oral administration may be necessary to get enough into her system. I have heard that Neosporin is useful on the open sores (and is certainly benign from my personal experience). Supposedly, the addition of salt (I'm not sure of the amount) to the water can increase survival, but I would not do this without the guidance of a vet.

    I am really sorry! I really hope she comes around.

    She needs to see a professional imo if you want any chance of saving her at this point I think. The substance is likely infection/puss, god only really knows if you don't take her to someone. The leg doesn't look good even to my untrained eye. From what I know of mammals when a limb swells regardless of reason, you reduce/cut off blood flow/supply which will cause the muscle and tissue to die. In essence kind of like a turniquet with out the external binding. If it is an internal infection the soaks aren't going to getthe job done. At this point internal as well as possibly external antibiotics might be called for.

    Sending good vibes tho...

    That is some nasty swelling. I looked for the pics you posted earlier when the problem first started but could not find them. An infection this bad is not good. The frog is probably very near systemic shock and will soon die. If you cannot get to a vet,
    I myself, would sterilize a pair of cuticle scissors and make a small cut in both the thigh and lower leg to allow pressure release. Be carefull to only cut the skin.
    Keep in anitbiotic bath awhile afterwards. Potential cause is broken or fractured bones.

    I AM NOT A VET, OR A FROG DR., and it may seem an inappropriate post, but, if you cant get to a vet, it may be worth a try.
