hard to tell without a picture. can you take one? ACF have very thin, flexible front limbs to begin with. sometimes people mistake them for being broken when they see them bent back against the glass. but if your frog's limb is disintengrating then that sounds like something happened, like a break.

i would quarentine him to a seperate tank, treat him daily with stress coat, aquarium salt, and water changes. this should keep his water clean to prevent infection from attacking his potentially weakened ammune system. if he does lose the limb, he may slowly regenerate it. but frogs can live fine with missing arms, i've got a one armed frog, but she morphed out that way.

good luck with your frog. if you have any other questions feel free to join my group as well. its all about ACF as well, with plenty of good, active members. www.groups.yahoo.com/groups/froggyfriends
