In the meantime, I'm looking for ways to help/fix it without a vet. I've tried the honey soaks, and my frog was obviously trying to pass the feces but unable. Is there any sort of supplement or technique that will be helpful in the time between now and when we visit the vet?
How long do you have to wait and how long has it been since the last bowel movement?

You should only do a honey soak once every 5 to 7 days. You can just do warm water soaks in the meantime. You can buy Fluker's Repta-Aid. Its a nutrition supplement for malnurished and dehydrated/sick reptiles and amphibians. I use it when Grif is mildly constipated. It comes with a dosage guide by weight and a seringe to administer the mixture oraly. Grif usually goes within the next day or 2 if soaked in warm water. You can try that. If you don't want to use the Repta-Aid you can continue to do warm soaks daily until your vet trip. Also while soaking you can gentley massage your frogs right side to help move the fecies. This must be done very gentley.

Keep me posted.
