my frog is only a baby and the other day i put a guppy in my frogs tank because i thought the guppy would be to big for him to eat. turns out it wasnt. for two days he had a bulge on his stomach which was understandable but today the bulge has gone but there is a shriveled up lump on the tob of him. PLEASE HELP and tell me whats wrong.

Here is a pic

yep he has been eating as normally as the other frogs which is good news.

Good news Trev
overlord Posted - 22/11/2009 : 10:28:27
ok thanks very much.
Kehhlyr Posted - 21/11/2009 : 17:33:31
It sounds like he just has what is essentially a bit of baggy skin on him where it stretched.
I'd imagine that it will go down as time goes, but how long it takes is a different question.

But glad to hear he's recovering ok.

the lump has gone done extremely and has nearly gone!!! he still has what looks like a mohawk of skin on his back, will this recover?
thanks.

Any update on froggy???
overlord Posted - 06/11/2009 : 17:32:57
ok lol, thnx
Kehhlyr Posted - 05/11/2009 : 22:40:35
Meant to edit that,
What I was trying to say was that in my opinion it looks like it could be either:
Impaction due to large food, or
Other organs forced out of they way by the large food.

To be honest i'm not experienced enough with ACF to be able to say, you may just wake up one morning to find a nice nornal looking frog, with a giant poo blocking the filters.

ok thnx, if it is one of the 2 things will he be able to survive?
Kehhlyr Posted - 04/11/2009 : 21:17:05
It does look bad.
It could be one of 2 things, either way, I'd recommend a vet trip.

It could be impaction due to the size of the 'food', or it could be the other internal organs have been forced out of the way due to the passage of the food.

Like I said though, I'd check with a vet really.
