    This is not good. He may be suffering from MBD( Metabolic Bone Disease) and Tetany. Seizures and spasms are symptoms. He is also underfed and lacking nutritionally. You will also need to find some Fluker's Repta Boost.

    Post a pick of the Reptile Electrolyte Replacement.

    What do you mean? You can soak him in a bowl outside his enclosure or just mix the solution outside hus enclosure and pour in his water dish. Then place him in the dish. May be less stressful for him.

    Now none of this is your fault. You mother did not provide the necessary diet and supplementation for the frog and eventually his system was bound to crash. It just happened to be under your watch that it crashed.
