If it's not one thing it's another ... anyway ...

My little (about 1 1/4" STV) ornate pacman has been impacted over a week. He has a lump on his left side as well as his right. I've tried honey soaks, pedialyte soaks, given him a couple of doses of Repta Boost, force fed a couple of worm pieces two different times. He's not been interested in food at all. The first dose of Repta Boost yielded a little poop, not much, and he still had a lump on both sides.

He has seemed to weaken and I can see a bone sticking up at his back end. He now stinks like poop.

I got him into a vet today and he said the frog was septic and recommended putting him down. He said he was too weak to be able to push out the poop.

Any thoughts on this? I hate to give up, but on the other hand I don't want to keep the frog alive if it is slowly dying.

Here's a picture I took of him a couple of days ago. He looks good here, but he is round due to being impacted.
