It is possible your frog has the following condition:
Symptoms: Listless, often found in water or hiding, watery droppings.
Cause: Parasites in intestines, “Protozoa”
Treatment: Parasites are always present in the intestines, but they will cause problems when the animal is weak. Treat with METRONIDAZOLE (FLAGYL) 1 drop in 8 drops of tepid water. Place one drop on the back of frog. Duration: Each day for 6 days. Treatment for the vivarium: 1ml per 5 liters of water; use this to spray the vivarium.
Hi DOn,

I fully agree about the vet (as I would, being one : )) but just a thought if you are going to recommend treatments - it might be an idea to specify the dose (in mg/kg) of metronidazole you are using (and/or what size of frog the mentioned dose is for) and the specific preparation used - various different concentrations of preparation ar often available (can't speak specifically for the US personally, but I would imagine so), and some preparations may have toxic carrier ingredients.

Hope this helps,

Bruce.
