My african dwarf frog has started to float at the top of the water and dosnt seem able to do nothing but such. He is seemingly bloated. When i tried to feed him food her went over on his back. Hes swmming back right ways.
 
i have a 2 year old bullfrog with part of his body protruding from his bottom. can anyone help. the tank is fresh + clean.
 
Bloat (usually bacterial) does occasionally occur with aquatic frogs, although it is more common in clawed frogs.

The bullfrog has a prolapsed rectum, very possibly caused by an improper, non-varied diet or a swallowed foreign object/non-digestible. What have you been feeding him, especially lately?

Bullfrogs stay tadpoles for ~2 years then they start growing their body parts (metamorphesis) and at that time they should be provided an area to get out of the water onto dry land (terrarium). I have two in my pond in my backyard. and Like Toirtis said your frog is deformed :(

....Someone stole my turtle out of my pond a couple days ago.... I'd had him for a year last month. :cry: The neighbors said they heard their dog barking at 10 at night the hight before he was missing. Now I put out a 3 ft long galvanized metal pipe in a more "accessible" spot outside in case I see anyone in my backyard at night :evil: .
