    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.

    He was much worse when I got home this evening, barely able to move. He is now at peace, no longer suffering.
