Pls help me understand the sudden death of my Albino pacman frog (Santari)

The regurgitation seems like some sort of toxin was swallowed followed by bodily fluids beings released. Where did you buy this frog? Have you always bought captive-bred (lab-bred) food for your pacman? There were no symptoms in the last month of having him or her that were abnormal or other routine? To me, this doesn't seem like chytrid fungus. I'm sorry Johnny .

I got her from a friend and she was a captive bred import.

I always buy my feeders from a regular supplier except the mice but i don't think it's the mice because my other frogs are doing just fine.

What bothers me the most was there was not a single prominent sign that she was sick. She was on her regular self like half burrowed in her substrate most of the time last night but she started to emerge when it started raining so i thought it was just another frog nature or something and when I woke up this morning she was still trying to get out of her enclosure so I was really surprised when I saw her trying to regurgitate some mucous secretions and then I panicked when I saw her having seizures so I immediately transferred her to a clean plastic tub and that's when she died.

I'm guessing it was neurological. She probably was having a seizure before vomiting. A lot of animals that have seizures vomit due to all the sudden bioelectrical firing of the nerves. All these firing from the brain seizing is tromatic and the frog probably felt the seizure coming and that is why she was stressed. If a seizure is bad enough it can cause death.

Of course I am no expert or Vet so I can not give you any assurance that this was the true cause of death, but symptoms seem right for a neurological problem as well as the seizure.

I'm very sorry for your loss Johnny. She was very beautiful.

Sorry for your loss
If something goes wrong with the liver, it can cause seizures like what you described. Can't say that's what happened without a necropsy, but I've had animals in late-stage liver failure that continued to eat and act fairly normal up to a couple hours before death (usually ending with seizures). The only outward symptom was ascites (fluid swelling in the abdomen) and a little bit of lethargy, and you probably wouldn't even notice that in a pacman since they carry a lot of fluid normally and are so sedentary.
