Yeah, like bill said, sometimes rescuing a frog from the wild doesn't always work out

I'm just stumped on how sudden it was. One moment he was hopping and swimming around normally, 15 minutes later he's barely breathing . Like you said, Heather it may very likely have been bacteria and/or a parasite, though I'm still considering the possiblity of Chytrid.

I'll probably pick up a box of powdered gloves ASAP, especially for use with Gnag and Bumpy, considering that Bumpy may now possibly have a beginning-stage fungal infection and Gnag is, well, a bullfrog and bullfrogs are known to be carriers of Chytrid and have a lot of bacteria on their skin.

To think of it, Levi, Thermidor, Gnag, Bumpy, and possibly even the salamanders may all be infected with Chytrid, because, knowing that bullfrogs, Pacific Chorus frogs and (most likely) Green frogs are resistant to the fungus, it may have spread from them to Nivose, and had gone undetected, because Nivose was spending a bit more time in the water than before in his last couple of days.

Thanks for the kind words everyone I appreciate the support.
