Pyxie. . .puked?

Sounds like you saw your frog shedding. Frogs can only vomiting by prolapsing their stomachs (exerting their stomach outside the body, basically putting it inside out).

Hmmm. I have seen frogs do that (the stomach thing), but that def did not happen here thank goodness. So maybe that "liquid" I saw was actually skin.

If the frog vomitted liquid it was most likely swallowed water. Does your Pyxi eat while batheing?

When a frog vomits it is always a bad sign. Most of the time vomiting is a response to a food item that was too large, parasites, or and internal bacterial infection, but if they eat something that doesn't agree with them they can also vomit. A full prolapse does not have to take place for the frog to vomit as long as whatever they are trying to regurgitate if squeezed out of the stomach and into the mouth before the stomach reaches the mouth. Although this is a devastating task for a frog and many die when complications arise and the stomach is not returned back inside the body. Even once returned the frog may not eat for a while due to healing and stress.

I've never seen one, but know of a case where Pixie could not get it's stomach back in and died. Following up on Colleen/Jerrod comments; have you dewormed your frog or had a fecal test done? I'm asking because of your statement that the vomit seeped into the substrate, so maybe there are parasites involved. Good luck !

I've actually had one of mine vomit as a young Juvenile and it did not prolapse its stomach to do so. I believe this is a rare occurrence since as you said the majority of the time they prolapse the stomach. They only vomit the stomach up if they cannot regurgitate what they've swallowed. Stones, pieces of wood, ect.

some meds can cause same effect, but usually stomach is getting back after freaking the owner up

I experienced my Green frog (Rana Clamitans), Bumpy, vomit up some food but with no stomach prolapse after taking some medication for treating her case of Giardia. I freaked out as well, but she seemed fine afterwards, and has been digesting her food normally since, with no more vomiting, so I'm seconding Lija on her statement that meds can cause a frog to vomit.
