Sick Dumpy | Red veins, bloated, won't eat
Not sure if there is anything else we can do with our dumpy at this point, but we're extremely worried. I've attached two photos to this post. We've taken our frog, Tubbs, to the vet and were given a medication - Baytryl - to drip on him once a day. We were also told to force feed him since he's not eating and hasn't really eaten in a few days. After giving him a chance to eat a cricket, we have to force open his mouth and inject a certain amount and kind of food (it's some kind of cat food for cats who won't eat or something, but the vet said it's fine for frogs).
He seems to have gotten a bit worse, and I don't think the vet is open until Monday. He's got dark colored spots on the edges of every part of his body, very dark discoloration under his throat, red all over his belly with dark red veins everywhere, puffy legs - and I believe random puffiness filled with some sort of liquid. When you tilt the poor guy to the left or right, his belly fills up on the opposite side - like it's filled with liquid as well (we didn't observe this yesterday)
Has anybody encountered this or have any idea if there's anything else we can do? Does he still have a chance at pulling through? We have no idea what he has yet, the vet is waiting lab results so we're in the dark. Just hoping you experienced frog lovers/handlers out there would have some advice.
