K well when I put her in her dish she immediately trys to poop. I'm thinking that whatever is blocking her up is almost out. She went like a quarter inch the other day, but gave up after a while.

Hi Dan, how long without a movement now? If baths are stressing it; that limits options, but guess the honey on it's water dish is good. Do replace water with 80F + honey (about a drop per frog's in. SVL) and place frog in it before it cools. Not sure the non-feeding is going to help, specially if a baby that needs daily feedings. Good luck!
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Feeding the frog solid food will make the impaction worse. The intestine will rupture. Do not feed it.
You may have to see a Vet. There is a medication that must be given orally and it jump starts the intestinal tract to assist in normal function. It can help with impactions. The medication is called Cisapride.
You can force feed the frog liquid food like Repta Boost. This will help keep any further waste from bring deposited behind the blockage since nearly all the formula is directly absorbed. The Vet can also administer a small amount of Mineral oil orally. This will also help pass the blockage.
This may be your best bet if the frog is impacted.
