    If she had to struggle to swallow it then it will most likely cause an impaction and damage her insides. She will need a Vet.

    I did some lookups for vets in the area earlier today. What is the general course of action for impaction from a vet position? I'm assuming scans first, but what do they generally try doing before diving into surgical operations? It says they specialize in all animals including Reptiles, so I sure hope they work with frogs... otherwise I'm not in a good position.
