You should probably contact your mother if you can. She can tell you anything other than what you mentioned that has been going on with the frog, as well as his calcium/vitamin schedule, when he last used the bathroom, ect. Also, if she knows of a vet you could take him to that'd be best.

That substrate looks pretty dry... It should be moist enough to clump slightly when you grab it, but not quite swampy. Since pacs are burrowing frogs, the moisture in the soil is more important to them than the humidity in the air (not that that's not important as well).

Other than that, there's nothing you mentioned that should cause seizures. What brand specifically are you using to treat, and where is your water supply (sometimes well water can contain dangerous amounts of heavy metals)? You may want to consider a late-night run for SPRING water (not distilled) from WalMart. That is safe for them. I doubt there is anything wrong with your water, but since it's someone else's frog and having serious problems it's better to be safe.

Feel the frog's right side gently; if there are lumps there, he could be impacted. Sometimes this can cause toxins to build up in their system and lead to seizures (mine had this problem about 7-8 months ago). If this is the case, put 4-5 drops of honey in a warm dish of water and dissolve them. Soak him in this while rubbing his side GENTLY (massaging the vent may also work). This will help him go.
If you don't feel a lump, or if you've seen poo in the last week it probably isn't impaction though.

We need some more info from your mother. What water condotioner are you using?

Butterworms are not a good staple food source. Use Night Crawlers from now on or crickets.

Feel the frog's right side. If you feel a hard lump then the frog is impacted. If so then here is what you need to do.

Prepare a luke warm bath preferably around 80° F. Get some Unflavored Pedialyte and for every 10 ounces of water add 1 ounce Unflavored Pedialyte Make sure it is dechlorinated water and only chest or chin deep. Add 4 drops of honey to the bath and dislove it. Soak the frog in this bath for 20 minutes or until the water cools. Once it cools prepare a second bath the same temp and depth, but use only dechlorinated water. Soak again until the water cools. Have luke warm dechlorinated water ready in the frog's water dish. Return the frog home and place it in the water dish.

Keep a close eye on the frog.

Now you say it is only fed every 4 days??? That is not enough. The frog should be fed every 2 days at most and calcium D3 powder dusted on its food every other feeding to every 2 feedings. Dust the food with a multivitmin powder once a week, but not on the same day as the calcium.

Get some more info for us and keep us posted.
