    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Well does anbody know how to cure my sick pacman frog?Its tongue is swollen so its just sticking out it cant eat or do anything. Please Help!!!
 
I am 99.9% sure that the tongue is not swollen. What happen is that your frog prolapsed it's stomach.

I have seen this happen twice and you have to act quickly or your frog will chew on it's stomach until it kills itself. Even though it is it's own stomach, all the frog thinks is that it is food.

You will need to bring it to a vet that is experienced handling frogs. The stomach will have to be pushed back into place using your fingers.
Or you can do it yourself, if you feel comfortable enough to try. It easily goes back into place once all if it is back down it's gullet. It's possible that it will prolapse again shortly after but you just have to push it back into place until it stays. Be sure to wear gloves while doing it. The frog WILL chew on you while your doing it and it HURTS. Depending on your frogs size it can break the skin. If successful in getting it back in place wait at least 2 weeks before feeding it again and only feed it a pinky. From there work your way up back to it's appropriately sized food items.

And just so you know. Pacman frogs will prolapse their stomachs while regurgitating food items that were to big for it. If it is a large frog that is eating adult mice or rat pups be sure to crush the skulls. They have a hard time breaking them down if they are not crushed..

I hope that helps???
 
In your reply box there should be an "insert image" button that will allow you to place a photo in your reply. However you must first have the image hosted online via a website such as your own(if you have one), photobucket, or any of those numerous sites that you can upload pictures to. If you are still unsure as to how to accomplish this then you can email the photo to me at [email protected] and I will gladly post the picture for you.

Yup! that's what it looks like to me.
Have you gone to the vet yet, or tried to push it back in like Mike suggested? If he keeps chewing it, he will injure himself.

Ciao,

With a frog that size you will want to use your pinky. You could use the rounded end of a ball point pen but it is hard to feel when to stop if you use that.

You need to take care of it as soon as possible. If he chews on his stomach and lacerates it. He will most certainly die.

On a side note. What are you feeding him and how often?
