Ho do I help Hathor?

Alright, let's rule out the fish for now, though I would still keep this guy in a species only tank just to play it safe.

Maracyn2 can be purchased off Amazon or Petsmart/PetCo.. but from the information about the diet, I think that's where our problem is.

Freeze dried foods, are just bad news. They can actually cause intestinal blockages, over time, if fed excessively —it's also completely devoid of nutrition. The frozen bloodworms, brine, and mosquito larvae are all fine as treats but your frog would benefit more from a more balanced diet of bait shop nightcrawlers and a high quality pellet (though Reptomin suffice, many keep their frogs on it).

So here's my second theory. It's either an intestinal blockage caused by a diet of freeze dried foods or a vitamin deficiency, possibly both. Is your frog underweight by chance? Females are fairly pear shaped and plump when healthy.

What I would do is change the diet and wait and see if she improves. Canadian Nightcrawlers especially SHOULD really interest these frogs (they go nuts!) and they are very nutritious.

Sorry your frog is not doing well . Have you checked pH, Ammonia, Nitrites, and Nitrates lately? What numbers you got?

Hard to tell from description what is the issue. Could be bacterial, protozoan parasites, or internal organ issues after 3 years of being kept in subpar conditions. Myself don't like to medicate unless sure of pathogen. If you want to try a natural mild bactericide; recommend get a bottle of Melafix and treat tank according to label for a week and let us know what if any changes after first couple treatments.

Maracyn 2 is a stronger antibiotic but it works only against gram- bacteria. Myself prefer Maracyn Plus because it works against both gram + & - bacteria and a full treatment is lower in cost. Good luck !

Hathor passed away last night I'm completely heart broken

I'm sorry to hear that. I had a fear that the swimming in circles was a really really bad sign something was very wrong.
