Today's update so far.

Bloating looks no more or no less.
Still moving about, little more activity this morning versus yesterday morning. Watched it for bit to see if I could see it eating. Still not catching anything, but is inclined to wipe them off it's face like in the video if one does run around on it (although not always).
The one change I did notice today is it appears to be shedding. I can see a little bit on the back in 2 spots, and a little on the leg where it looks to have started to come off.

Ok, so after getting a better side profile look I'd say that swelling has increased some around the throat area. you can't even notice it from the top down view.
Thought I'd post this pic...you can see some of the shedding skin to.

Another update

Well...not to get my self all high hoped, but if I had to say there's been a change, I'd say I think the swelling has gone down some around the throat area and sacral vertebra (I hope I got that right). If you look at the previous photo you can't really see the vertebra, but in today's you can make them out a lot easier
Wasn't much activity yesterday, but today's been good so far. Still haven't seen it eat though...
Seems to be free of shedding skin as well today.

Fingers still crossed.

Did Dr Frye get back to you and are you treating her, Dan?

She is looking better.

He did get back to me with a response about how it's hard to diagnose a bloated frog and asked a few questions, but never replied to my answers. So I've been trying to find someone in the GTA that'll even look at amphibians, but no luck. Toronto metro zoo can't even give me any ideas.
But no, there's been no treatment.
So whatever is going on looks to be clearing on it's own....yay!

You might be able to find a Vet here, Dan.

Herp Vet Connection

Bloat is a symptom of an underlying condition and it's difficult to pinpoint the issue.

Nice, thanks for the link Glenn.

I've called to one in Pickering, I know they won't see frogs.
I'll have to give a couple of the others a call that aren't to far.

Well...8 days later.
All bloating appears to be gone. I've decided to move the little one back into it's home tank to hang with it's amphibian buddies. Hopefully this isn't a bad idea....
Over all, it's behavior isn't back to it's usual self (still a little lethargic and not jumping all over food), but I'm hoping putting it back to somewhere it's more comfortable will help that.

Dan,
If it was me I would keep him in QT until he is eating well.

I have kept frogs in QT for fecals for months.
Just be sure you have plenty of leaf litter and pothos. I would also put some springs in the QT. container.

Just my .02.
