    I just called three 24 hour vets and finally found one that deals with frogs... The veterinarian that was on shift didn't have a lot of experience with frogs so he wasn't comfortable with diagnosing anything, but did say that the stomach regurgitation does happen for various reasons (if they think something is toxic, etc) but it could also be something else. I am going to call back in the morning when the office opens and try to get an appointment for him to be seen by their exotic pet veterinarians as soon as possible.

    Updating you guys again. I called the vet office this morning once the exotic pet vets were in and they got me an appointment today, it is in about 4 hours. I will update once I have seen the vet. Wish us luck! Let's hope Blob is ok!!

    Just got back a little bit ago. Im glad I listened to you guys and not my boyfriend who was trying to tell me he was fine and was looking it up online that its a good thing to happen because it can get toxic things out of their bodies. No, the vet said this is not normal and it always indicates something is wrong.

    Luckily Blob pooped this morning so I could take a sample in. No parasites were found, which was good news. The vet didnt feel any lumps or intestinal obstruction. She did see some blushing on his tummy which I would have never noticed, she said that can be a sign of infection. So in the end she started him on antibiotics today for 7 days, and wants me to keep an eye on things. If it happens again the next step would be x-rays and blood work.

    The fun for me is trying to give a frog a syringe of antibiotics everyday (although he was quite cooperative in the vet office)

    You are so very very lucky! You not just got a vet nearby who sees frogs, by what you are saying she is very knowledgeable vet! Not many if such are around unfortunately.

    please keep us updating and ill keep my fingers crossed for fast recovery.
