    All your stuff sounds right. I was just thinking depending on her diet before like if she were being fed fish or something maybe long-term parasites could cause that sort of malnutrition. Because an adult shouldn't go from being normal to being that skinny after just a week of not eating.

    Another thought; it looks like she isn't retaining water like most pacs do. Not sure what that would mean, but it strikes me as odd.

    Honestly, you probably need to go to a herp vet if you can. This looks pretty bad and there's no obvious cause for it.
    Calcium overload can cause them to retain water(Edema). If the frog was getting calcium, but no D3 this could be the reason for water retension.

    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    You need to buy a Multivitamin powder and go ahead and pick up some Repta-Boost too.

    Sorry, for some reason I was thinking you had bought these as adults.
    Can you post a picture of the other pac as well? You need to also start feeding him with the multivitamin so if he hasn't already started to show symptoms he won't develop any.
