health concern - appreciate any help

menistvo Apr 20, 2005 12:17 PM

Our beautiful ACF, 5 year old female, recently developed a bump on the white of her skin, on her center chest about 1 inch / 2.5 cm down from her mouth. The bump is white and not red or discolored.
Saturday (16 April) her right leg, almost to the top , became very pale in color. She would not open her toes either but kept them tight in. By Sunday morning, the color returned to normal and by yesterday she began opening her foot as usual and swimming normally.
Today I notice (and it could be me being over-sensitive to changes, with all the stress and worry) her eyes may be just slightly "buggy".
The bump has remained.

We are very worried about her, she is loved by all and has a wonderful personality. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Vets have told me nothing and everyone seems bewildered.

i tried to find out what was wrong with your frog online, but couldnt find anything to do with the symptoms you described...did you try looking up nematodes? anyway, i wish you the best. good luck

Thank you for trying - I deeply appreciate help on this.
I did consider nematodes, but could not find symptoms that matched. She still has the bump, but ate today and has otherwise seemed normal. Her leg/foot is back to normal. But still I'm really worried about her, the bump is there and I don't want her to go through it again.

If anyone knows any more info, like personal experience, with nematodes in ACFs I'd so love to hear about the symptoms.

But above all I wish her a recovery, and good health to all of you and your little friends
