    I may take him in, however the other thread I read that had the same problem had no luck with vet care just a lot of wasted money...

    What is a frog safe med that would help if it were an infection?
    Keep in mind this would be applied in his mouth not on his skin

    Hi Brandon:

    Sorry to hear about your frog. Under the Care Info link above click on Frog First Aid, that may help you find the right treatment. I am just making a guess but I would treat it as a bacterial infection.

    I dont know if this helps but the other day when i went to grab my pacman frog to soak him in some water i thought he was bloated on one side and he was making a wierd clicking noise they he slowly started to look like he normally would and i realized it was just defense
    what im saying is sometimes if a frog feels threatend it will make itself appear to be larger and make sounds warning the "attacker" to go away

    this might not be what your frog is experiencing but i still hoped this helped

    this poor little guy has been like this for a while. So either hes one bad *** frog who thinks hes tough or thats not whats going on...

    I have a feeling that eventually he wont be able to eat, however right now hes a fat healthy(minus this issue) little frog

    If you find an experienced vet, they should be able to help you. Some vets are clueless though, so ask them their level of experience with amphibians before spending your money there. I would probably try that before self treating.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"
