Hi Relly,
I'm sorry you having so much trouble.
If or when we use Dr Frye's services, the payment is made via credit card.
There is no fee for an office visit. However, the charge for medication ( if needed) , as you might expect , is built in.
You could speak to Dr F prior to getting the frog's weight.
He may have you measure the frog to estimate the weight.
The time spent driving to the vet is not the issue. It's all the handling - which is very stressful . Plus, it should be a vet that has experience with frogs.
Ask ,first, before you make an appt. Otherwise , email Dr Frye?
The reptiboost and continued pedi soaks are fine.
I would put him in a very simple quarantine/ hospital tank.
A small 5-10 gallon clear glass tank with a secure lid or alarge clear/ plastic critter keeper will work.
Put a thick/very damp/ layer of paper towels on the bottom. Include his soaking dish and a plant or big pc of a plant.
Use de-chlorinated water - ONLY- to dampen the paper towels.
Be sure to keep the temp and humidity w/in the proper ranges.

Cover the outside ,of three sides, of the tank w/ a towel or brown paper ---this will help him feel more secure. ( it's just temporary).
Keep a day/night cycle. Very , very little light at night! Keep him in a quiet area. Do not handle him unless it is absolutely necessary.
Keep de-chlorinated water - ONLY- in his soaking dish! ( the distilled is ok for misting)
This quarantine tank set up is important for all new frogs.
He may simply need to acclimate to his new surroundings.
Remember----It's very important NOT to touch him unless you have to.
A paper towel bottom will help him to see his food and will help you see the left over food and make sure he is pooping.
Pooping = eating! Poop should be well formed--- diarrhea needs the vets attention.
All remaining crickets should be removed the following day and put back into the cricket bin to feed.
Have you witnessed him eat?
Please post photos if you can
The white lines are normal.
He crawls when you "give him a check" because he is trying to get away!
I know you want him to eat.........but don't put him in a container w/ lots of crickets ( that will stress him out)---- just a few ( dusted crickets ) each night-for now.
The right size cricket......... The size of the crickets should be equal to the space between his eyes.
