Pacman frog sick? Pleae help!

[vampyregirl]

So last week I got up in the middle of the night and I saw my pacman frog was on his back. I quickly turned him over and he seemed ok and hasn't turned over since then. But since that happened so many things seem to be going on with him now. Last week he hardly ate, then completely stopped eating. Then started eating again, now hardly eating again. Also he seems to be breathing heavy a lot, and now today I noticed he keeps closing only one eye. Idk whats going on with him but I'm worried like ****. I keep the temp in his tank around 79-80, and humidity stays around 70%. I usually feed him 5 crickets every other day. And do calcium dusting. He also uses the bathroom regularly. If someone though could please help me figure out whats going on, thanks.

Hi, sorry to hear your frog isn't well, I know how it feels. If you could answer the trouble in the enclosure questions and post a photo of the frog someone may be able help you abit quicker.

As Cory said, please post the 'Trouble' answers so we can give you better advice.

Also, how big/old is your pac? If you're feeding 5 crickets a night I don't think he would have had time to stop eating for a dangerously long amount of time in two weeks... That could just be a function of him getting older and needing to eat less often.
The flipping over and closing his eye does raise some flags though. Flipping in pacs can be a sign of extreme stress or illness.

I tried adding pics, but they showed up upside down for some reason.

Goodmorning, the first thing I noticed is that if got him as a baby he day time temp should be 82f no less during the day and let it drop a degrees at night. You didn't put in what kind of water you use and if your using the wrong water that could playing a big part in your frogs health. Also when you say he gets calcium 2xs a week does it have d3 in it? do you give it any kind of multivitamin? Crickets are not good as a staple diet, they have no nutritional value at all. Nightcrawlers are way better for a staple food. And I know you said your pics came through upside down but if its possible try again it would be so helpful for someone to help. To me the flipping over is a huge concern and I if you really think your frogs health is making uncomfortable or he is pain etc. I would get him to vet as soon as possible. Someone here may be able to help you find out whats wrong but if its serious you will need a vet anyway to get antibiotics.
