Impaction help!

[Lija]

In that situation trust frog knows what he is doing. Eating while impacted is not something he should do imagine yourself in that situation, would you really want to eat?
Can you post a recent pic, do you feel any lumps in particular on a left side ( when you look from the top, frog head facing forward)? Or on a right side? Any bloating?

Going forward, nightcrawlers should be his main diet until his poops are normal.


edit- reread your initial thread, some things I missed before that needs to be fixed.

substrate - too dry, you need to keep it wet, not mud like, but wet.
Temps. 70 at night, way way too low, that might be a reason he is not really interested in food. Increase to 83-84 during a day, you can do 85 too, night no lower then 76-78. Invest in good quality digital or infrared thermometer if you have analog gauge.
Decor, add a plant of sorts to make him feel safer, I prefer these silk hanging ones, you stick to the wall and then spread it over the ground some, it creates a good hide for the frog. Silk at plastic ones are not as good, plastic parts tend to be loose and come if and then it is a danger to a frog.
Hm... I think I covered all I remembered.

Very much appreciated for the reply! I actually did invest in a digital thermometer shortly after the visit, along with investing in a new dome and bulbs because my previous one was giving me trouble. With the new dome and bulbs, the day time temperates are commonly around 82-85, while the night time is 73-76. I would like to get those night time temperatures a consistently a little higher. The left side of him, as evidenced by my pictures, looks bigger than the right. I felt both sides of him and they felt the same, but then again I'm not sure what a lump is suppose to feel like because I haven't dealt with something like this before!

http://imgur.com/a/hR1bF these are two pictures I just took of him. Sometimes he's sitting there with what it looks like his eyes closed. He gets perked up a bit more if he gets sprayed or if a hand comes near him.

The lump would feel hard, on a left side would be a poop, on a right side is the stomach, or it may indicate it is blocked all the way to the stomach.

Regarding consistency in temps, you may want to look into getting hydrotherm by zoomed - a life saver! It is a controller that regulates temps including night drop in temps. And it is also can be used as a termometer/hydrometer. It is about 50$ at Amazon I think.

Now regarding the frog. It looks bloated, not terribly so though. Given the circumstances and the fact it has been 2 weeks now I would resort to antibiotics. Very likely it has infection in his interstines, very common in impacted for longer time frogs.
You have been to a vet, I suggest to go back, if you don't really trust him/her then give dr. Frye a call ( Milan vet hospital) he will assess and send you needed meds to your home. You, US people, are lucky he does it over the distance it can't happen in Canada unfortunately, it's illegal for vets to prescribe anything without seeing a patient, US is different.

You've been a real life saver so far! I'll invest in that hydrotherm and I'll set up an appointment with either the vet I went to 2 weeks ago or to who you recommended. I'll be sure to leave an update and hope he'll be okay!

For that device, I looked on amazon and saw a couple other products like an auto fogger of some sort. Is that worth investing into at night, or should it be okay to just get the controller?

[Lija]

No problems as long as it helps, hope the little guy will be fine and turn into a big guy soon!

fogger, you probably mean zoomed fogger, that looks that bottle sitting upside down on a black base with a hose comming out of it? It's ok, myself I had to return mine like 4 times. If you can glue a few things together, it's better to get ultrasonic home humidifier, (i've heard you can get it for 20$ at Walgreens? Not sure), anyhow, you just need to buy the hose that can fit into the place the fog is coming out and then glue it in. This will give you better fogger . There are bunch of YouTube videos on how to do it exactly. Regardless of what you buy you can plug it into hydroterm and it will control humidity for you too!

yeah that was what I was referring to, aha. I've got one last question for you if you don't mind! Sometimes my frog will just close his eyes and it looks like he's sleeping. If he gets misted he usually perks up a bit, but I'm not sure if he's trying to sleep or if it's something else. This is what he usually looks like, it's the best picture I could get.

Yes, he is sleeping
