    Give him a Soak in Luke warm de-chlorinated water with 4 drops of honey dissolved in the bath. Make sure the water is no deeper than half the height of your frog. Prepare another cup of Luke warm de-chlorinated water to pour over his back and vent.
    Duration is 15 minutes. this soak helps the poop because the honey act like a natural laxative.

    You'll need to go pick up some UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE as well. Prepare a bath of a 10 to 1 ratio. so for every 10 ounces of Luke warm de-chlorinated water add 1 ounce UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE. Soak the frog in this bath for 20 minutes. This soak will help with hydration and electrolytes as well as giving some needed nutrients. Both soaks add energy as well.

    If you'd like you can combine the honey into the UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE Bath so you don't handle him so much. I've done this with no ill effects and it seems to work well. Duration is 20 minutes. After the first honey bath only add the Mediate to the baths for the next 2 days then repeat with honey as necessary.

    Please note that it must be CLEAR UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE.

    If it has been a month and your frog is losing weight you need to force feed him.

    OR take him to a freaking Vet already! A month of not eating and you haven't seen any poo then the next step should be get professional help. Poor thing

    Aye Grif up there has it, if the method suggested doesn't work a Vet or even possibly looking for a Breeder, or Herpetologist center, association in your area could assist too, I've had to call a few in my own area just for information and confirmation of what I have, will, and want to do involving My own Pac, just search the net, and make some phone calls, you may have to call long distance depending on the area you live, but you just may find someone close to you that can help you out as well, seek help from any and every avenue, you never know where help will come from till you start asking, and the folks here are notoriously accurate, so relax and follow the steps provided above.

    If force feeding becomes needed, which as it seems thus far it is, there are quite a few youtube vids of people doing just that, I had to use the cleaned and sterilized Drivers license / Credit Card applied to the side of his mouth and sliding a cricket down his gullet off the cards smooth surface, I hope you can get you Pac back good n healthy soon, Good luck to you and yer large mouthed friend.

    How common are such vets? I heard horror stories in the 90's. Is it much better now?
