 NEED HELP ASAP!

My frog’s tounge looks as if it has a blister on it and it’s hanging out of the side of her mouth. We don’t have a local vet that knows anything about amphibians so I haven’t been able to get any information. We got her as a tadpole and raised her. I put some crickets and feeder guppies in her cage to tempt her but she hasn’t eaten anything yet. Has anyone seen this condition and know how to treat it or do I just watch her die????

A picture would help. Also some history on the frog, how it’s kept, temps, humidity, vitamin supplements, water treatment etc. It could have been bitten by a food item on the tounge. It could be a bacterial infection. Is it acting sick? I’ll need more information before I can guess to what’s wrong.

Sorry for your loss. It might have died from choking on a piece of moss or something.

im sorry to hear that. By the way most vet are going charge you a arm and a leg just to tell you whats wrong with your frog. It might also just be cali who do that only.
