    Default Re: Red leg????????????

    Hi! Thanks so much for the help, all my 5 frogs seem to have the same symptoms of the odd tinge to their legs and it's only started from when I got the new ones. How would you suggest to do this to all 5? But they are all still very active, eating like pigs and croaking so I'm not sure what the go is! Quite puzzled if you ask me!

    I'm not quite sure quite understand your question. Obviously you need to keep the newcomers away from your established frogs. Also, need to separate the older frog with same symptoms from the asymptomatic ones. The reason for the recommended hospital like set-ups is that it's a lot easier to keep enclosure clean and provide little area for pathogens to multiply. Once Red Leg or other bacteria weaken a frog; other pathogens like parasites and fungi are soon to follow.

    If you do not have the aquarium salt and/or Melafix; need to get those from a local pet shop in order to start a treatment before possible disease advances to point of no return.

    Understand from your post, the frogs are acting normal and eating. That is a good sign and if you prefer to wait until veterinary appointment; that is your choice .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
