White lipped tree frog has fluid under his skin

[sleepypossum]

Alfonso does not seem to be his usual self, sleeping more, eating less and not pooping much and not bathing. I noticed a few days ago he has a collection of fluid around his rear and when I move him the fluid moves too. Could this be Dropsy/bloat?
Would love to have some advice. Alfonso was rescued from the supermarket floor and I have had him for 9 months now. I feed him crickets. spray his terrarium with "safe" water ( I put 'repti 5 safe' in the tap water). his skin is still good, clear eyes. I dont have access to a froggy vet near to where I live...Is there a home remedy I could try.
Many thanks

He could be impacted. First try some warm water baths, 75-80 degrees. There's a frog first aide article on the left that says something about salt and buldging butt, but.. That had to do with infection in intestines. Could be a few things, but I would try the bath first. I also added honey, 1drop per ounce. Figuring that sugar helps bowels move, and helps with energy levels.

Thanks. This morning Alfonso was just sitting on the bottom of his terrarium very puffy around his jaw line. Have just given him a bath in warm water with abit of honey which he was not too keen for...anyhow, he is now sulking but has climbed back up his "tree". Will keep you posted.

well, puffy around his jaw sounds like what Opal had in reaction to his plant. What tree does he have? If it's a schefferlla (umbrella plant) it's toxic. Maybe a run down of what's in the tank.

The plants/vines are not real but made from a safe non-toxic natural silk so the box said that they came in...Alfonso's had them in there since August(washed occasionally in treated water)) the Substrate is exo-terra tropical from coconut plant. There is a log and branches from a jacaranda tree (again, been in with him since last august). It really looks like the swelling is some form of odema...the fluid seems to pool in his body in relation to how he is sitting. ( thighs and bum/lower back when vertical, jaw and tummy when horizontal) . Alfoso is still hunting and eating and did a nice big poop yesterday( Funny how exciting pooping can be..)
The swelling is not getting bigger which is good?
Thanks for you help. Much appreciated.

it's not bigger. That's good. Eating and pooping are also good. Could he be a little over weight? Usually edema makes them lethargic. But it could be the start of an infection. If you want to see pictures of infection, go look in Kisa's album at Bruce cambels leg.
