Help! My frog is incredibly bloated!

Oh man. I don't see any breathing and I lifted up his bowl and put it back down and he didn't flicker the slightest. His eyes are nearly fully shut. I'm afraid to touch him don't want to disturb anything. Think he's a goner?

Put him in a small dish of lukewarm water and a teaspoon of honey. Or Pedialyte if you have it. Let him soak for 1/2 hour and see what happens.

Edit: Keep his head above water.

Have to go run out and buy some honey. I'll post the results of what happens. Again many thanks for your tireless efforts.

I don't really want to say, since I am not there. I hope he's not.

I gotta go for now, I hope it turns out ok. After he soaks put him back in the enclosure. Good luck.

Well...he's a goner. I tried lifting him up to put him in the luke warm bowl with a teaspoon of honey and he was completely lifeless. I guess I'll have to learn from my mistakes. I'm going to bet it was the substrate that he ingested. Thanks guys. Such a shame.

RIP Roberto

[Kurt]

So sorry.

Sorry for your loss

[ghettoted]

Thanks. If it helps the diagnosis any, he wasn't sleeping during his normal hours during the day the last couple of days. Thought I was just seeing him awake during odd hours but I just read something that that might be a sign of something being wrong. Jeez.
