    just reread the thread, did you ever supplement food with multivitamins? or you used only Ca/vitD3?
    I would say since the frog hasn't eaten for quite some time that it would be best to go with liquid first and add solid foods as his condition lessens.

    No, never any seizures, and I monitor him closely

    yeah, but forcefeeding with worms is easier then liquid and nightcrawlers are easy to digest, but I'm afraid his condition won't lessen... i have a bad feeling about this.... may be because i've just lost one of mine....
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    My father always told me to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. It is worth a try to at least help the frog. Most likely he had a seizure at some point and this damage occurred, but we can't know for sure. It has survived this long. Perhaps there is hope, but we will see.

    Keep up what you're doing and do buy a reptile/amphibian multivitamin for later. Look for something like Herptivite.

    You can give him a better chance, but there is no guarantee. So do as my father told me. Do your best.

    sorry, just a bad day for me thus a bit pessimistic.
    agree 100% it is not too late and there is always hope, you may not save somebody but you better hope and do whatever you can to do so. we'll help you with whatever we can.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
