Just joined and have a problem

Hey Reticguy, sorry to hear you lost one. I had one with the exact symptoms and ended with the same result. I am not up on my disease terminology or exactly how bacteria grows/spreads, but one thing I noticed, and have seen since is if the substrate gets oversaturated my frogs immediately show signs of bacterial infections/fungal infection/toxing out on something (unnaturally bloated up, hip bones showing, skin looks really thin, tacky skin, retained sheds, some of them lose appetite, but not all.)

I haven't lost any other frogs, but I know it is the oversaturation. It may be do to the ability of bacteria to reproduce and easily spread in the 'standing' water in the bottom of the tank/substrate. I started making my substrate deeper and changing more often if it becomes too saturated. Ventilation is also important.

Hi Recticguy! welcome to the frog forum, i wish though it would be under different situation. so sorry for your loss. all you did sounds good, except humidity, that might cause problems. I'm stressing out a word "might", because unless we know different it is all guesses.

have you ever noticed anything sticky around his mouth or nose? have you noticed what exactly was he whipping off his mouth that morning? did he ever looked weird to you, like coughing or sneezing? have you actually saw him eating lately? was he burrowing deep with just eyes sticking out or was just sitting there? have you noticed any change of his behavior comparing to what it was like 3 month ago? you said you noticed him poop - how the poop looked like?
