ADF big bump

[rayzorsan]

Hi guys,

Was looking to see what could be wrong with my african dwarf frog. She has a bump and I am worried. Just set up another tank nearby and now it seems like she has something growing inside her leg joint. Don't know what to do in this situation.

a cyst or a tumor maybe? it looks more red colored than the rest of the leg.

Yeah I noticed that, but its only in that one area. Is it treatable at all? My wife and I are rather found of it.

the only experience ive had with a growth like that on any of my pets was when my gerbil got 2 weird groths on both of his ears, I pampered him and fed him live insects and fresh fruits all the time he had them and eventually they disappeared. Ive had a lot of ADF's but ive never encountered something like that. amphibians dont like salt, but, the only thing I can say is that you might try a salt bath and try feeding it higher quality foods and keep its water warmer and cleaner.
