puffy RETF

anurotic Jan 07, 2007 01:09 PM

hello...this morning i noticed my largest female is rather puffy. the white of her chin/throat is puffed out, in a manner similiar to a "double chin." this is something i have never seen before, and i am concerned.

any ideas?

Maybe it's eggs?

Mine aren't old enough for that yet, but maybe you could ask over on talkto.thefrog.org there are breeders over there.

Ummm...I had a couple do something similar and none of them survived very much longer. I had asked for advice here too and no one knew (or responded, can't remember, it was a while ago) what it was. Sorry this isn't good news and I hope that you can figure it out if it is the same thing that happened to mine. Good luck.

well, it appears that the puffy neck is gone and the frog is fine. not sure what it was, though!!
