I don't know what the last time is that he ate. So I moved him to a quarantine, plastic cage with damp paper towels, a small water bowl, and a small plastic plant; then I placed the cage in a low traffic area of the house. I also placed a cricket in there for him yesterday, and he has not eaten it. I still need to see if he poops, because I believe the feces I find in the cage may be from my other frog. One thing I noticed is that his belly is not the creamy white, but it seems that you can see into it (see attached pictures); it has some blue and red discoloration. The other thing I noticed is that when I moved the frog to the quarantine tank, his belly didn't feel soft, but it felt firm on the inside (impaction?). Should I give him a honey bath? Further, I looked at the first aid article on this forum, but I'm still not completely sure what it is. Also, I do have a veterinarian that specializes in amphibians, but they are closed over the weekend, and on labor day. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
Sorry
I believe you should take your frog to the vet if the appearance of his tummy does not change.
Is it possible to email the vet, and send these photos?

The honey bath will not hurt.
But, do rinse him afterwards in clean de-chlorinated water.
His tummy has dilated vessels.
He does appear to be bloated.
So, he may need the vet as soon as you can get him there?

Do you have any emergency medications on hand?

Let's hope he poops tonight
