    Wow. That is definitely blown up. I would recommend isolating the frog so you can really keep a better eye on him and soaking him in warm water (not hot). Warm water can help if it's an impaction.

    Exclamation Re: Impaction?

    I isolated Steve last night (about 14 hours ago). He's in a small container with wet paper towel and lots of air holes in the lid. I put him on top of the tank so he could get warmth from the tank's fluorescent bulb. He's still alive and moving quickly when prompted. I think the swelling may have gone down a bit but it may just appear that way now that he's out of the water. His belly is not hard but no poops so far. I haven't offered food yet - need to go get some tiny little crickets for him and will post an update later.

    Thanks SO MUCH for the advice and encouragement. ANY suggestions are appreciated!

    Good News! Steve had a poop! He's still swollen and not eating but I went ahead and put him back in the regular tank. So hopefully he's going to be ok!
