    He has not touched food for a couple of days again and still remains sitting on the floor constantly a very dark colour.

    On a more positive note, I picked him up last night to inspect his belly and check for redness etc, and he jumped really far from my hands back in the tank to near the top which must be a good sign!

    He did however struggle to hold on for some reason and after about 20 seconds fell from near the top luckily into the water bowl to break his fall. He seemed ok from the fall but concerned that he didn't have the strength maybe to cling on
    Hello,

    Dioralyte does come in unflavoured sachets as well, so could be used.

    Having said that, human salts are probably not ideal, and just as a general thing as well I would strongly recommend getting him to a vet. It sounds like your frog needs proper evaluation and possible investigations so that appropriate treatment can be given. That will give him the best chance.
