Does my frog have an impaction?

[autumn94]

One side appears to be a bit larger than the other and it looks like a lump. I read that impactions are pretty common among Pac-Man frogs but I haven't had him very long and am not sure if that's what it is. Also, I will not feed him mealworms anymore. Thank you!

I had a similar issue recently with my fire belly's. I called a specialist in my area and they basically wanted me to wait 3 days for an appointment. Someone on reddit saved me by telling me to soak him in clean room temp water and see if he'll pass it. Lucky for me after doing that for a while he was looking better. Maybe try that and if it doesn't work try to get to a specialist. My frogs impaction was caused by eating a cricket that was too big for him.

Thank you! I will definitely try that

This page should help with impaction n all that.

“The honey bath is used to treat mild constipation and impaction in frogs. Also used to reduce swelling of the cloaca and intestines during a prolapse. Honey also has natural antibacterial, antifungal, and antiallergen properties that are beneficial. It also provided a energy boost when the frog is lethargic. The honey bath will not cure really severe blockages caused by large rocks, wood chips, chunks of back (**bark) and anything else that is not digestible and too large to pass. For anything of that nature a vet is needed.”

The amounts are given on another article on this forum.

”One drop (of honey) per 4 ounces of water”

I hope everything goes well

Oh I forgot, I also hear you’ve got moss in there? From my experience (which albeit isn’t really much) I’ve seen moss cause impaction in a pacman frog at Petco. Idk if it’s just a specific kind of moss that’s different but I usually hear that moss isn’t good for Pac-Man frogs.

I use moss to help keep moisture in there to keep the humidity up. I have started putting him in a small dish in his terrarium so that when he eats he does not also eat some moss or coconut fiber
