    Default Pacific Tree Frog Slightly Bloated and Not Moving

    Hi, about 3 days ago I noticed that my pacific tree frog was slightly bloated. But I didn't think much of it because she's bloated up a bit a few times and then the next day was back to normal. There was one time where it did stay bloated for a day or two, and then I read on the internet that it might be impaction, so I soaked it in warm water for about ten minutes a day and then it was alright.

    This time though, I soaked her, but she has remained bloated and has little to no movement now. I've never seen her this non-responsive before. Usually when I try to pick her up, she'll squirm a little and hop away, but when I try to pick her up now, she barely moves. The bloating is not body-wide, it's specifically about the abdomen area. It's like there's something filled in there. Also, she is no longer eating despite me dangling insects right in front of her (she always tries to eat anything that moves). Also, today after I soaked her, I noticed that she was shedding, but her skin did not come off all the way (still some skin left on her).

    I don't know if it's related or not, but a few days ago I fed her an earthworm, and the next day, I saw the worm stretched out and spread against the terrarium floor with specks of frog poop stuck on it. I assumed that maybe she had trouble digesting the worm and that it literally passed right through her because I did watch her swallow it. I regularly feed her earthworms and flies that I get from my garden. Lately I have been feeding her mealworms because I could not find any insects outside. I've fed her mealworms plenty of times before with no trouble at all. I make sure the insects I feed her are not too large.

    Also, she is at least 8 years old, so I don't know if maybe it's just her time or what... But please any help would be great.
