    Default My frog's throat

    I was wondering if my frog's throat looks normal. It's very puffy/swollen. It happened before and then its gone down and looks normal but now its puffy again and has been like it for awhile. I should also mention when I first got him his tongue was stuck out of his mouth twice when he was trying to eat but we helped him get it back in and its never happened since. This could also relate to why he stopped eating.

    So let's get this straight. The frog is not currently eating? How long has it been since he ate?

    I've been force feeding him. He's had a medium dubia and three small ones the past two days and half a nightcrawler a few days before that.

    Hmm, idk because its been not puffy before, I mean it has looked normal. Then it will get all puffed up and sometimes go back to normal looking but it hasn't gone down this time. I've heard of using diluted Listerine to clear oral infections but I don't want to do so if its not a problem. I will try to look in his mouth tonight when we feed him.

    I wouldn't treat him for an oral infection unless you know for sure. I haven't heard of using diluted Listerine. What's the ration of listerine to water?
