I've had to do this with an albino that just stopped eating and it saved it's life. However I still have to hand feed him. I think your frog will be fine.

    I saw you said he doesnt have a lump. Hopefully nothing is stuck in his mouth or throat preventing him from wanting to eat. I don't think frogs can have sucralfate. I would feed him yourself. It's not hard if you do what I suggested. If he doesn't eat then gently open his mouth. I've done it many times with my albino.

    Here are 2 PICS of my Frog. I took him out yesterday to clean him off and take PICS of him to send to the Seller bought him from. He has an appointment with my Exotic Veterinarian on June 27th.

    Late June seems so far, but hopefully his condition will maintain itself until then.

    I have heard of people force feeding their frogs and how it helped get them going on their own, but I'm not sure if it's necessary yet. If you do it for any reason, it should be so he produces a stool to be examined. If you do go this route, call to make sure they will accept it despite him not technically being a patient yet. Since you have a visit scheduled, I'm sure they would be understanding.

    He looks deceptively good. Nice, clear eyes and, despite not eating, isn't too skinny yet.

    GOOD NEWS! He Ate Today! and he pooped. So I am very pleased. I discovered the trick with him is to feed him in the Dark. He will not eat if in an open and fully exposed Critter Keeper. I need to cover it completely with a towel --- leave him alone with the food item for 15-minutes.
    He ate 2 Hornworms today which were a good size. So, I am pleased. Now I know moving forward how to handle feeding him.
