UPDATE:
Dory and I just went to the vet. He was very nice and had already done a fair bit of research when we got there- he'd also contacted a friend that IS a herp vet to ask advice AND the vet that DOES treat frogs at that clinic happened to walk in just as we were leaving and took a look at her. She was quite sickly when I got there, and he radiographed her to make sure she didn't have any foreign bodies in her intestines (they were clean, with no fractures either). He gave he sub-q calcium (on the recommendation of the herp expert) and gave her metronidazole (an antibiotic) orally, and recommended I continue with the Lamasil treatment. The other vet also said since she was dehydrated we could either run her fluids or just keep soaking her in a warm bath until she re hydrated. (I chose to do the latter). Interestingly enough she perked up a LOT after the calcium, not sure if it was the stress of the injection or what- but she was actually repositioning herself into her little froggy stance. So that's good. And she's holding her head up on her own now too. I sterilized her environment (I'm throwing out her wood hutch- didn't think I could get that clean) and she's now back in there. I put 3 dusted crickets in there with her and left her alone for a little while to calm down- don't want to stress her with love. Oh and she pooped on the way home. She at least she's not obstructed.
ALSO, I saw this weird crawly bug- kinda centapedey in with her new crickets- the ones I bought after she was sick, but they came from the same place... So it's possible the old batch had them too... never seen that before.
PS- I would have totally driven an hour to the herp vet- but that vet doesn't have weekend hours and today is SundayI would never let a car ride stop me from trying to save an animal's life.
THANKS SO MUCH!!! For all your advice, I will keep you updated on her progress and hopefully she will only continue to improve. I'm going to hold off force feeding her for a few hours- hoping the treatment the vet gave her will make her eat on her own.
