    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 !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
