Does your pet have swollen limbs?
Is your pet unresponsive?
Has your amphibian fasted for a prolonged time?
Are there any fungus spores visible on your pet amphibian?
Are there any visible mechanical damage on your pet amphibian?
Puffy arms and legs are a symptom of metabolic bone disease (MBD). With MBD, the bones in the body become weakened because there isn’t enough calcium in the diet, and the amphibian hasn’t been able to sun. To restore strength in the weakened limbs, the body adds fibrous tissue to the muscles. This extra tissue puffs up the limbs, and they look chubby. You should take your pet to the vet.
Amphibians that are unresponsive are close to death. If your pet sleeps a lot, if it doesn’t pull his leg back from you when you take it in your fingers and give a gentle tug, if it lies in its cage without moving or feeding, you should immideately take it to the vet. Causes of unresponsiveness are starvation, avitaminosis, dehydration or temperatures that are too cool.
If you have a frog or salamander from a temperate area and it had not eaten for more than two weeks you should take it to the vet. If you have a frog or salamander from a tropical area and it had not eaten for more than one week you should take it to the vet.
Fungi are an opportunistic infectious agents. If the skin of an amphibian is damaged or breached, or if they are kept in dirty water that isn’t changed regularly, the spores will infect your pet. Cleanliness is critical, so keep your amphibians under very clean conditions. Any signs of external fungus need prompt evaluation and treatment from the vet.
If there are any visible mechanical damage on your pet like burns, bites or broken limbs you should take it to the vet.
Based on your answers your pet appear to be healthy and doesn't need a veterinarian exam.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
