Hello everyone! It's been far too long since I've last posted and for that I apologize. Nevertheless I come to you guys today with great anxiety. Barack, my favorite pacman whom I've happily watched grow over the past few years is dying. At first I thought he was just stressed. He stopped eating for about two weeks, so I cleaned out his 10 gallon tank and replaced it with fresh coconut husk. After two days passed, I tried to feed him again and he was acting quite neurotic. I placed him in his water dish and then proceeded in force feeding him three night crawlers which he happily took. (He pretty much opened his mouth and I put them in. He then savagely ate them haha).
Two days passed and sadly I found the worms regurgitated in the water dish with the sickening smell of death.
I replaced the water dish and fed him two more nightcrawler. I then took out the water dish.
His setup-
10 gallon tank
70-84 degrees
Three inches of coconut husk
He usually eats 2-3 times a week alternating between crickets and worms with the occasional pinky.
He is usually my best feeder.
His setup has fake plastic vines in the corner.
I also gave him a honey bath when I cleaned out his tank. He's lost considerable weight... I'm taking him to a vet soon. I shall post pictures later today.

70-84 degrees is a huge temperature range. I have no personal experience with pacman frogs, but from what I've read on this site, 70 degrees is too cold. I believe minimum temps should be around 75 degrees.
2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"
0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"
Sorry you're absolutely right. His enclosure never drops below 72. Never. And never higher than 82. I highly doubt his climate is a problem.

I am sorry your little buddy is so sick! I hope the vet has a simple answer to fix him! Keep us updated
So sorry, and yes you need an vet, what are you describing can be either parasites or infection or both... Please update us how will it go with a vet.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
Barak has an infection. You will need a Vet. Might as well have him dewormed as well. There are types of protozoa that cause vomitting, but i think its bacteria. Get him seen immediately.
