I have two african clawed frogs, one 12 and one 10 (Steve & Steve Jr.). One suddenly appears today to be sick and bloated. From all I've read, he appears to have dropsy. (I was giving them bloodworms a couple weeks ago when I ran out of their regular food -- did NOT know about the risk they posed.)
They have been back on their regulard food for about two weeks, but today Steve appears to be in distress, and keeps staying at the water's surface. I saw that adding salt to the water is a way to treat this, but I have not seen any specific instructions on how to perform this treatment. Also, some sites recommend adding stress treatment to the water as well. Should these two things be used in conjunction?
Help!
