Fallow the instuctions that Don posted above. Go to the store. And try and find some. Just ask someone that works there if they have Pedialite and we said be sure that it is the unflavored kind.

Didn't get chance to go to town today, everything closes early!
Although he is still alive and it seems he has moved by himself, not very far, but still better than yesterday!
It looks as if he's been asleep all day, his eyes are down, when I shine a light on him to check he's breathing he sometimes opens them. I've never seen any of my frogs do this before, I sometimes catch them sleeping if I'm very quiet and barely move, but they soon snap awake as soon as they know I'm there. Don't know if him sleeping a lot is a good or bad thing...
Later on tonight I'm going to force feed another 2 chunks of worm dusted with D3.
He's really putting up a fight now! He's trying to jump more and won't open his mouth, yesterday I could open it pretty easy, now he's like clamped it shut. :P He seems to be swallowing the worm pieces a little easier as well.
So fingers crossed he will still be alive tomorrow. ^_^
If he is shall I calcium the food again? Tonight he got 2 pieces that had D3 on and yesterday 2 pieces with calcium. I don't want to over dose him on it or anything, but his bones still feed quite soft.
If you've been feeding him 2 with D3 and 2 with calcium then tomorrow only dust one with calcium and leave the other piece undusted then the follwing night don't dust either. Start the dusting process over after the 3rd feeding. I would still go out and buy the unflavored Pedialite and soak him in it. It takes amphibians a very very long time to recover. If he survives you may still have to force feed for a couple months. Get some weight on him then you may try to let him eat on his own. This will take probably no less than 2 months.
I hope he makes it. Keep us posted.
