How often have you been feeding him after you noticed the impaction??
I am surprised that the vet didn't provide an antibiotic to at least try to help.

Shouldn't feed them solids when impacted, but do not blame yourself. I'm not sure there is anything more you can do without something to help with the sepsis. You can try and Soak him again and gently massage both his sides in slow small circular motions while he soaks. Add about 4 drops of honey to the bath and be sure to pour some of the water over his back and directly over the vent and right behind it to stimulate a movement.
This is all I can advise if a Vet will not help. I'm sorry I wish I could do more![]()

I gave him another soak tonight with some honey. I haven't seen him try to poop at all, he just sits there. I'll give this another day or two and if I can get in to see another vet I will do that.
This has made me very wary of letting the frogs catch their own food in their enclosure (those that still won't eat worms). I'm trying to mainly tong feed, most of my pacs will tong feed now except the two currently non-eaters and another that sometimes will tong feed and other times won't.

fill an ice cream bucket half way with dechlorinated water, then fill up the sink with very hot water set the bucket in the hot water to warm up the bucket water. When the bucket water feels very very warm but not hot, take the bucket out of the sink and place your frog in the bucket. The response will be that you frog will kind of frantically swim around, kicking its legs. It'll swim a bit, stop a while, swim a bit. After a lengthy swim, place the frog in shallow warm water with honey in it and leave it be. If that doesnt work, repeat the next day.
Was your vet a herp specialist in any way? Some vets that dont know herps may misdiagnose symptoms because they dont understand the appearance or behavior of amphibian species.
Your frog has a full looking belly and probably is very constipated but its limbs arent swolen and it doesnt really look septic to me.
i agree with grif even if mine died last time cause of this , it managed to poop out one mealworm exoskeleton.try hot water or honey , just follow grif's advice
