Euthanasia is a difficult subject. Ultimately it’s a decision best made by a vet and the animals care taker. Metabolic bone disease is a reasonable cause for euthanasia in its advanced state. It’s an unfortunate condition that is preventable but don’t blame yourself. Learn from the experience. I will caution you that amphibian euthanasia is an uncertain procedure. The techniques used on mammals are not effective on amphibians. Research has shown that it can be a potentially painful process if performed incorrectly. If you cannot find a vet familiar in amphibian euthanasia I would advise you to let the animal be. Find it a quiet place and a clean enclosure. Drape a dark cloth over part of it and just observe without stressing it. If it decides to feed after a few days, supplement with a good multi vitamin and calcium supplement. You could also try a soak in plain pedialyte for about 15 minutes to restore electrolytes and hydrate the animal. Good luck
