    This animal desperately needs to see the vet.

    I concur with Kurt on this one. Get the frog to the vet! I have seen this behavior with perfectly healthy frogs, especially Rana (Lithobates) sevosa, the dusky gopher frog. Every morning at the zoo, I would flip over several that were lying on their back. The first thought that came to my mind was these frogs are really suicidal. I don't know why these frogs would do something like that.

    I'm sorry to tell you that I think your frog is having this problem call "Dysautonomia".
