    No, when he freaks out he scampers around in the water, swims in circles and does flips

    I cleaned my frog's tank today and he sort of just floats around.... I also caught him floating on his back what's wrong with him?

    There is a possiblity that whatever that caterpiler was that it could have been poisonous. Some Butterfly and moth larvae are toxic. You should never feed your frog something that you don't know is safe for it to eat. You also should not feed them anything wild caught because they pose a risk of carrying parasites and pesticides whci will harm or kill your frog.

    Is he responsive??

    sort of he wiggles his arms and legs but mostly he just floats lifelessly on his side
    When I came home from school he was on his back near the filter. So I turned him back on his tummy

    What should I do??

    He needs a vet. He is very ill and I don't think there is much else you can do without vet assistance. If he is this bad off then euthanasia may be the only option, but you need a Vets advice to be sure.

    I'm sorry I wish there was more we could do to help.

    Go out an buy some unflavored Pedialyte and honey.

    Prepare a bath at a 10 to 1 ration. So for every 10 ounces of luke warm(80°) dechlorinated water add 1 ounce of unflavored Pedialyte. Add 4 drops of honey to the bath. Soak him in this bath for 20 minutes.

    Try this and see if he becomes more responsive. Keep me posted.
