My mom’s frog took a tumble!

[Motherofspiders112707]

So, we had a bit of a scary situation with one of my mom’s Pac-Man frogs. She was fixing a mattress, and her Pac-Man was on a shelf in front of the bed, and our Oogie Boogie was knocked off and landed on the floor. Nothing fell on her, and she landed on spilled substrate safely, but the fall was a bit high. We put her in a bath with some Amphibiaid, and I did a quick inspection of her externally and she seems fine, but what else should I do?

She started peeing and took a massive poop as well, so I think those are good signs. She’s just stressed so we’re leaving her alone to relax while checking on her periodically.

Update: So far she seems to be doing well despite her scary fall. She ate, and I have her set up in a temporary tank because we’re getting her a new one anyway on Tuesday. I went light on substrate just to keep monitoring her condition, but we got really lucky. We probably won’t add the ceramic dish back in for awhile since it very easily could have fallen on our girl and she could’ve passed away, but I save wax worm containers for water dishes so she still has something suitable for her size.

The whole tank fell? Or just the frog chillin' on the shelf?

How large of a frog are we talking about, here? Have pics?
Hopefully the substrate dampened the impact...if.she's a very large frog, I'd be concerned about the potential for internal injuries. How high was the shelf? Is the floor carpeted? How soon after did she defecate, & was there anything abnormal about it? Has she regurgitated at all?
How does she seem today?

Around 2 or 3 feet. We have her on a night stand now. The floor was carpeted, she defecated a few minutes after the fall and has not regurgitated anything. The poop was not abnormal, just big, which is normal since one of my mom’s other frogs had a poop the same size months ago. She’s burrowed partially now and when I went in to check on her, she tried to bite me, so I think she’s still hungry. I’m gonna look up how to tell if a Pac-Man has internal injuries though. I’m trying to post pics of her but for some reason my phone won’t let me. I’m gonna see if I can try on my iPad.

sounds like she survived the crash, pooping is a natural reaction. take a picture

Keep an eye on it, even big terrestrial frogs can jump. If nothing squished it, it’s probably gonna be fine

Sounds like she will be fine (also assuming no updates since and been a few days so hopefully so!) Pacmans are tough, and normally she would show something right away if she was injured or at least have some markings or obvious injuries.

Normally underside would have the most evident signs of trauma or legs but if she's being grouchy and well, it's all good signs.

Yeah, she’s okay! I got side tracked so I didn’t check my post but she’s being her usual froggie self. I’ll post a picture of her soon so everyone can see her bright green chunkiness, I just have to sign into this website on my iPad, but she’s definitely okay! She actually ate six Dubias afterwards
