    Hi scro,
    Bolisnide has given you good advice !
    Answering and posting the questions will help you, your frog, and us.

    I'm sorry he is not doing so well.
    He needs to be moved into a hospital/quarantine tank and be re-hydrated.
    If you cannot get a hospital tank now - do this in his regular enclosure. But get the hospital tank asap.
    Put him in --a very clean ( no soap) , very shallow container- w/ a lid ( so he remains in the re-hydration solution) .
    Soaking solution --enough to cover the frog's belly ONLY! If he cannot lift his head, you don't want it too deep !! for 15 minutes -every day until you get more advice as to what the problem is.

    Re-hydration solution: Unflavored *Pedialyte ( *from a pharmacy or supermarket) soak him in 1:10 ratio (one part pedi and 10 parts distilled water if possible( yes - for this distilled water )

    A quarantine-hospital container / enclosure: should be simple ( 5--10 gallon tank or same size critter keeper) – something easy to clean w/ paper towel substrate dampened w/ de-chlorinated water,and a soaking dish w/ de-chlorinated water.

    He needs a herp vet ! If you do not have one:
