The other thing that I noticed you said that the temp was at 70 and has dropped to 60. I would check and make sure the thermometer is reading correctly. If the temp is infact 60 that is to low for the little guys. You should be around 70 degrees within the enclosure.

They're fed every couple of days and are dusted every time. I am going to buy some vitamin dust from the pet store later. I think it's too late for this little guy, but I really hope the other will be ok. Fingers crossed for both of them

Willow,
I'm so sorry!
There is no herp vet anywhere ? It's such a shame
He really needs a fecal check and likey and antiviral medication such as metronidazole ( which will also help to boost his appetite)

Give him a soak in some unflavored pedialyte ( or it's UK equivalent) w. a drop of honey/ then a rinse soak.
(found in the baby isle at a market) mix it one part pedialyte and 10 parts distilled water
Therapeutic hydration for child dehydration - Pedialyte

Repashy make a 'rescue' product?
Repashy Ventures - Distributor Center

I have used Flukers 'repi-boost' this works very well
Fluker's Repta+Boost Insectavore & Carnivore High Amp Boost at PETCO

Quarantine him / if you have not already done so

Willow,

The UK is a bit backwards on this I've noticed (I'm originally from the US and had 3 good herp vets near me). The UK currently has more people who own a reptile or amphibian than a dog or cat, but good herp vets (or any for that matter) are few and far between. That's why I suggested trying to find someone who isn't a specialist per se, but is knowledgeable about their care and will see them in their practice (like our vet). I also have friend that lives in Dorset (she and her husband breed corn snakes), she's not a specialist vet, but does the same thing as ours as she has a passion for herps and is knowledgeable about their care.

I hope everything goes okay and your little guy pulls through!

Yes we are a bit, I have asked my vet but they just shrugged me out, they could not care less here. It really is horrible, the frog keeps fitting and tensing, it sounds cruel but I would rather just somehow put him out of his misery. It's really upsetting me, I can see he is in pain and cannot help at all

[Willow333]

He died this morning I really need help as to what it is, this is the second frog it's happened to and I don't want it to happen again

Just out of curiosity, could you PM me the name of the breeder you got them from? I had a similar problem earlier in the year with 3 White's that I got from a certain breeder at one of the Doncaster shows. One passed away within 48 hours of having it, the other one the next week, and the third one a few weeks later with similar symptoms to what yours had.

I don't know how long you've had them, so it might not even be relevant, but if you've only had them a short time it very well could be.

So sorry for your loss, I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet
