He acts like he cant raise his head. When I got him out of the tank, he went all stiff and straight legged like he had died, but he's still alive. Now he's just sitting there, like he is weak, or somethings wrong with his shoulders. Ive had them for about 2 yrs now, and never had a problem. The others are fine, and eating well. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
Go Saints!!

| From your description, it sounds like a type of paralysis, possibly due to poisoning. It's not hard for a minute amount of toxin to drift in and affect something small like a yellow and blue poison frog. Could the exterminator have paid a visit recently and let spray or fumes drift too close? Did you use a new source of substrate that may have been contaminated? Ditto on that concerning food? I don't keep dendrobatid frogs, but the symptoms sound somewhat familiar to a mild poisoning. Here's the species in question in case anyone is confused about what a 'tinc' is....
