    You can try a bath in lukewarm water but this time add a few drops of honey. If she still has trouble, GENTLY massage the lump to see if you can break it up.

    Try the honey bath again, maybe with a few more drops of honey this time. Put her in a container she can't easily jump out of, and gently rub her side for a bit. Try that tailbone trick I talked about in the last thread. As I mentioned, mine has consistent impaction issues, and sometimes I'll end up rubbing her side for ten minutes straight when it's a particularly difficult one.
    Also, get a lid for the container, and leave her in it for up to half an hour (make sure she's somewhere where the water won't get too cold). You can do this daily; sometimes it doesn't work on the first try.

    I'm sorry to say there's really nothing else to be done in this case except continuing honey soaks without vet intervention. Don't give up hope though; this is a pretty bad impaction, so I wouldn't expect it to work perfectly on the first try.

    Well, the lump is poo, so it'll last until the frog goes to the bathroom.

    Woah, I just realized you weren't the person who just posted the thread about impaction that I replied to earlier. Honey soaks won't hurt, but that lump looks really bizarre to me. Oddly placed for an impaction too.
    What does it feel like when you touch it? Like, is it a solid mass that moves around, or does it seem held in one place? Also, when did the frog last poo?

    Okay, so that's not an impaction. Can you get a better picture of it from above and the side? Are you sure you're not talking about the frog's hipbone? They stick up, especially if the frog is underweight.
    You can stop doing the honey baths, since those are for impaction. If your frog hasn't eaten in over a month I find it hard to believe it's going to the bathroom twice in two days. Are you sure it couldn't have eaten crickets or something that you left in the tank and you just haven't noticed?

    Try feeding something other than crickets. Has she been using the bathroom regularly, or was the time two days ago the first time she's gone in like... weeks? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on since it's very odd for an animal that has't eaten in so long to still be pooping.
    From the pictures, I think what you're talking about is the frog's hipbone. Google frog anatomy and look at the skeleton; their hips are placed oddly and stick up above the spine when sitting.
