    Why are you taking the frog to PetSmart? The people that work there know next to nothing about the animals and following petstore employee advice has lead to a lot of sick frogs on this forum. Plus the trip will really stress the frog for no reason.

    Also, like I said, just go ahead and replace the substrate with eco-earth. When you said you'd gotten all the moss you could see out, I wasn't expecting pieces that large to still be in there. Like Lija said, just shedding will cause him to eat pieces of it.

    At the Petsmart I go to there is a pet hospital, I don't know if it is for dogs or all animals, I won't take her until I am sure.

    My guess is that it is focused on dogs and cats, but call to make sure. In general when you need to take a reptile or amphibian to a vet, the best bet is to go to an exotics vet. You can just search for ones closest to you on google.

    Also, is the frog still impacted, and do you still see any reddish/pink color? If it's not impacted and you don't see any damage why are you taking it to a vet?
