1. Camera in macro mode
2. Min focus for your camera (in macro mode) is 4" (this may depend on how 'zoomed in' you are too), make sure you are no closer
3. After you get an auto focus confirmation from half pressing the shutter, move the camera forward and back until the frog is in focus (in your first pic the focus is well behind the frog). You might be better off aiming at something very contrasty that's about the same distance you want to be from the frog and half press to lock the focus at this distance, keep holding the shutter down then aim at the frog.
4. Use a tripod if possible, otherwise you might want to raise the ISO to 800 or above (your pics are at 400) for a faster shutter speed to help with camera shake
5. On camera flash off for sure when shooting through glass (you did this)

Sorry I can't offer any help on the more important frog health issues.
