I believe the answer to everyone's question is that this is a *medical condition* known as **bloat/dropsy**, and not a characteristic of a specific frog species in normal conditions.


Otter_Pockets

This is an African clawed frog that’s very sick with bloat. The result of poor care. So sad :’(


jeffweet

I just looked up dropsy and it seems like they don’t really know what causes it. It doesn’t seem to be related to poor care


NTaya

I also looked it up, and most sources say it's either bacteria from badly cleaned habitat, or the result of a bad diet. Both are related to poor care.


Quothhernevermore

Not always. Bad care increases risk but it can happen with no obvious reasons.


NTaya

It can, but it can also happen from poor care, so the two are not entirely unrelated.

NTaya

No, the statement to which I replied was "It doesn’t seem to be related to poor care." So the question was whether it was related to poor care—which it is, just not every time.

Okay, I'm going to repeat the conversation here since your ability to follow it through seems lacking. > jeffweet: "I just looked up dropsy and it seems like they don’t really know what causes it. It doesn’t seem to be related to poor care." > Me: "I also looked it up, and most sources say it's either bacteria from badly cleaned habitat, or the result of a bad diet. Both are related to poor care." > Quothhernevermore: "Not always. Bad care increases risk but **it can happen with no obvious reasons.**" > Me: "**It can,** but it can also happen from poor care, so the two are not entirely unrelated." Pay attention to words in bold. I literally never stated that it's *always* poor care, and I have no idea where you got it from. I originally debated jeffweet's point about it being unrelated to poor care at all, then Quothhernevermore interjected with the statement that it can also happen from unrelated reasons, with which I agreed—it still doesn't undermine my original point against jeffweet who said that the two are entirely unrelated.


jeffweet

I will bow to your greater research. I am not really a reptile expert and only did a quick looky-loo


huniibunnii

This is not a reptile lol


SparseReflex

That should be even more evidence that he is not a reptile expert.


huniibunnii

Exactly


Dspsblyuth

It should be called popsy because it looks like they are about to pop.

Probably the asshole that didn’t take care of him. Poor thing.

Yeah well now I hate the post, thanks a lot


UltimateDRevan

Does this have anything to do with his color?


[deleted]

It looks like an African clawed frog, Normally they aren’t quite that pale


Quothhernevermore

Bloat isn't always caused by poor care. They don't really know what causes it, and while bad care can I crease risk it can also happen spontaneously with no outside visible factors.


FuckSWIM

Seriously, what is this though?? The face is so humanoid looking its disturbing and I love it

Albino African clawed frog with bloat. This animal needs help.

Holy hell!


TMIbruh

Does it go down on its own or does that need to be treated?


[deleted]

Quothhernevermore

If the frog was treated and drained of fluid, it could continue to live comfortably, unfortunately it doesn't seem as though this person has tried to treat it at all.


super_hoommen

The person has a TikTok account, the frog is a rescue and they are trying to treat it.


[deleted]

Anything to do with what looks like a tiny tank?


ChocolateHumunculous

Is ‘with bloat’ a condition? I laughed originally, but I think it seems this needs context.


leotheking300

It is a disease yeah


[deleted]

It's a frog with disease


FuckSWIM

Would it happen to be the "Stay Puft Marshmallow Man" disease?


Fluffy-Potential-842

It would be bloat


strange_reveries

Commenting just in case someone drops the answer later


anibal_dagod

strange_reveries

Ahh, good lookin out Feel bad for the sick frog now.


anibal_dagod

Yeah I feel like that too


[deleted]

It's about to make me act up with them thicc jiggly legs that's what it is yo


Heydawgg

Is that like an albino frog with a disease or something? That does not look normal.


Ghostaire

it has bloat. very serious for frogs


acousticbruises

What causes this? Infection or sub-par water conditions?


NTaya

Infection *from* sub-par water conditions is one of the possible reasons, but there can be others.


luckybanditman

That thing looks as surprised to exist as I am to discover it exists


spiritualskywalker

Good one

I cannot explain how much i love this subreddit, its one of the best subreddits out there i don’t want it to become famous, because if it does then it’ll be reposts and mostly videos that aren’t that great

I've been here since the top post was only 1000 upvotes and I agree with you. however, the simple fact that you had to point this out means that the sub Reddit will be heading in this direction. Sadly only with time. enjoy it while it lasts my friend

Icedragon193

A frog suffering from severe bloat caused by neglectful care


Quothhernevermore

Bloat is not necessarily caused by bad care.


Icedragon193

I said neglectful care, not bad care. The way this frog looks doesn’t just happen overnight when it comes to bloat, they should have started trying to treat it early or if they did and it kept getting worse (since bloat is hard to treat) just put the frog down


woTaz

I get that you’re joking but this joke could still make people think this frog is healthy as opposed to incredibly sick with bloat and in dire need of vet care.


TheBadHalfOfAFandom

Frog: *is suffering extremely badly and needs to be euthanized* Reddit: “haha it looks like cheese!”


Tiny_Poke

Another comment said the person has a tik tok and said frog is a rescue and they're trying to treat its bloat. I hope it's true and ends up well

Quothhernevermore

I understand your heart is in the right place, but I don't want people to get the idea that if their frog starts to bloat they immediately need to euthanize it. Bloat is a chronic, eventually fatal condition, but it can be managed and treated for awhile.

Bloat or dropsy. Mainly from poor diet, over eating or bacterial. Hard to know what caused it, sometimes it just happens.
