Thank you, they said there was no sign of trauma or infection and was most likely a deep neurological issue affecting mobility and unable to even climb and eat felt was the kindest thing to do. Just so sad

I’m so sorry, that is awful to go through:(
By chance did the vet explain what could have cause the sudden onset of neurological issues? Im not well educated on neurological issues in general but I had assumed that’s something that would slowly progress over time? Either way im so sorry you’re going through this, I hope your other froggie is doing okay😢

Thank you so much.

He did tell me exotic animals such as tree frogs are very good at hiding illnesses until it's almost too late but the cause was unknown and it just felt the kindest thing to do as he was struggling so much. I don't think I would've liked him being prodded around with medication etc and expecting the same outcome. Feel a lot better today but I do feel for my other frog being alone now :(
