Hi all,
Any help would be appreciated please :unsure:

I noticed one of our frogs hanging around the top near the filter for a few days, but thats not unusual.
This morning i noticed it looked rather fat so i got out the breeding net to place him in so i could have a closer look. To my horror he/she is REALLY bloated on one side, to almost being transparent! It also looks as if i can see a dark shape almost worm like through his transparent skin???? :crazy:

This is really upsetting me as we've had these two babies right from the start of our tank.
I have read the threads on Dropsy/bloat but couldn't find any that said it could affect one side of their body??

Any help would be really appreciated please!!!!

He is having trouble not staying at the top but still seems very active?

Help please????? :unsure:
 
Are you feeding alot of blood worms if so cut them out for now.
Is the frog anus red or enlarged.
 
Yes, i probably was!!I read somewhere else that i should have been mixing the diet :unsure: He is still with us this morning. I'm not feeding at the moment??He is definately more swollen on one side though?? thats what has thrown me!Thanks for the reply :good: Any help would be great.
