How is your frog holding up? I'm glad you're going to the vet. Sorry I missed your post, I was at work. How was his belly after gently putting the herniated area back in? Did the swelling go down?

I agree with the above. It looks like an impaction / intestine obstruction. The honey helps them to pass the obstructing substance, if it is possible to pass. It also provides them with some "sugar", similar to the way a diabetic person would need if not eating, and hydrates them. Stay away from using distilled water. Use dechlorinated tap water or spring water for soaking. Distilled water is water with all minerals removed, and it actually pulls important nutrients out of the frog when soaking.

I would pick up some plain clear pedialyte solution. If it's an impaction or obstruction I would skip feeding him for about 2 to 3 days and do a 1:10 soak of 1 part plain pedialyte to 10 parts dechlorinated water solution, and soak him for 15 minutes each day. You can do the honey soaks too. I would do one in the morning and one in the evening to separate them a bit. Once his belly is completely back to it's normal size give him one more day of gut rest, then try very small pieces of earth worm or mushed up food, still following your calcium schedule. Reptaboost works nicely too. It's a bit like baby formula for amphibians, and works nicely.

Good luck at the vet! I hope your baby pulls through!
