Any Ideas...

[premiumhawks]

im having to hold one of my clawed frogs head out of the water bc it is too weak to swim to the surface. if i let him go he sinks to the bottom and can not make it back up then goes to laying on its back. i knew he was sick when i got him but id figure i would see what i could do. id feel bad if i let him drown... any ideas. i cant hold him all day. i know its just a frog but still dont want it to be my fault it dies.

If there are no fish to protest, perhaps you could lower the water level. Or get something for him to rest near the surface on, like a plant, overturned tupperware container, etc... some sort of platform.

Also, if you fill out the sticky here http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=2330 we might be able to help you diagnose and treat him.
