Need some help!! I’ve had my African Dwarf frog for 2 years now. In the past few weeks I’ve noticed his stomach getting significantly larger. At first I was afraid it was “bloat” but his/her arms, legs, and head are not swollen, only the stomach. Almost looks like fluid or air inside the stomach. Poor thing does not look comfortable Although, he/she has been swimming around and still swims to the top of the tank for air every once in a while. Has anyone seen this before and/or have some advice with how to help get her/him better?!

It could be dropsy. While you are waiting for a response that would be a good thing to do some research on.
Edit: there could be some useful info in this video.
didn't have time to watch very much, but the guy seems smart. Don't do anything without getting confirmation from someone on this forum.

I looked up a few videos and articles on that but I’m not sure that’s it... that seems to be fluid build up in the lymph nodes and swelling all over. I was also wondering if he/she may have swallowed a pebble or two in the tank while eating 
I’m conflicted on what to do. I saw someone had “poked” theirs and it deflated but I would NOT do that if I don’t know the cause or exactly where to poke

To be honest I'm really unexperienced in this area, the best thing to do would be to wait for someone who knows what to do to get on.

I had frogs years ago but I never saw anything like this. I'm afraid I don't know the cause or the cure, but it doesn't look very good 
Years ago there was a member Jenste who knew a lot about frogs. She's the one who helped my when one of my frogs escaped from the tank. Searching for posts by her pulled up a few threads which may be of some help.

Adf, Possible Illness?
Well over the last 2 days I noticed that one of my ADFs wouldnt dart to the surface for air like the others, but rather take ages doing it, swimming a bit then stopping, then again. Sometimes he would swim at the tank sides, banging into them. I figured he was just being a bit lazy, as they all...

Poor thing - that doesn't look comfortable at all His digits seem to be curled on his feet and hands, too. Is this also something that occurred with the bloating? I'm a new frog owner myself, but I would strongly recommend going to an exotic vet, if you have one in your area.
Please keep us posted on your guy!
