I woke up this morning and was checking out my frog tanks, when I noticed that one of my amazonicus was acting very strange. Well.... he wasn't acting at all. The poor little bugger died in the crouched/hopping position and riggered that way So, I look in his tank and there he is standing picturesque on a leaf, dead as a doornail. He looked very healthy, nice and fat, and the other 3 amazons living with him are boats. I guess they just kicked the crap out of him or he had some catastrophic organ failure. This totally sucks!
I'm waiting to hear back from a local vet, who is going to send it to a pathologist for a necro. Necros are not cheap ($150-$300), but I'm totally willing to figure out what happened and how to keep it from spreading. I'm a little worried about the timing though, since it may have been dead for at least 12 hours now, and I don't have any chemicals to pickle it. Has anyone every used isopropal alcohol before? Right now I have it in a moist cup, on PT, cold, but not frozen.
