ADF getting lumpy one one side?

kpetzing Feb 19, 2004 09:25 AM

One of my afrtican dwarf frogs is expanding on one side of her (back/side not belly). I had no idea what this is. I first noticed it last week. I think it's a she. S/he's acting perfectly normal, but she no longer is symetrical when looked at from above or behind as it looks like her one hip area is much larger than the other.

Anyone have any idea what this could be?

Thanks

Thanks for your relpy.

Is is the frog's left side but it seems to be all the time. It's like her/his one hip is bulging a bit. s/he's been this way for 2 weeks now or so and I don't notice anything else odd. It doesn't seem to be getting any bigger now.
