    Hello Bedore! Since frog has not pooped for a week and appears it did vomit, take a look at frogs left side (right when looking at frog head on) and see if it looks different and bigger than other. If so, (and specially if it feels hard) could be a constipation problem.

    For that get a small tub that fits the frog and fill to frogs chin height with 80F dechlorinated water + a few drops of honey (3-4 for baby is OK). Let her sit there for 20 minutes and then discard the solution and do a rinse of same without the honey. Usually frogs will poop during baths. After baths you can place frog back on her enclosure dish and if it poops you are done. If it does not repeat daily until it does.

    Also, recommend as soon as you get some poop to take it to veterinary (hopefully with amphib experience) to conduct a fecal sample and ensure your frog is free from parasites. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Anytime they vomit it is bad.

    Follow Carlos' advice. Most of the time an impaction will show on the right side of the frog and I do mean the frog's right side. Since the stomach is located in this area food eaten will not be able to leave the stomach and create a bulge on this side. Vomuting can be cause by a severe impaction or the usual cause parasites and internal bacterial infections.

    Either way whether the frog poops or not seek a Vet's help.

    Thanks for clarification Colleen/Jerrod ! Fresita suffers from chronic constipation (even when fed night crawlers exclusively) and it's her left side that bulges out more, so that confused me .

    That means she is getting blocked up towards her cloaca. It will vary some, but most of the time when the really need to poop it shows on the right.
