    I'm sorry to hear she is doing poorly.

    Kidney issues such as renal cancer can cause water retention that can look like bloat. It takes a very experienced vet to diagnose kidney issues so there is no way to be sure.

    Buy some nightcrawlers and see if she will eat them. I have never seen a frog turn one down, but I have never seen one so emaciated.

    I never like suggesting this, but if she doesn't eat soon, it may be better to consider euthanizing her.

    She does eat, very well in fact, she's just not gaining any weight.
