If it is actually attempting to use the heat pad to thermoregulate that can be an indication of an infection of some sort. I strongly recommend getting at least a quick fecal check on the frog.

Well the thing is, I haven't seen it eat yet and all it has been doing is sitting there. If it does poop, can someone give me contact info for Dr. Frye?

Thanks,
Alex

PS- Will let you guys now how she is doing in the morning...

A fecal that is mailed isn't going to provide the same level of detail as to fauna levels as one that is read the same day (ideally in hours) of being collected particularly since dendrobatid fecals tend to be small. There are 18 ARAV vets in Maryland. See ARAV

It will run about $18.00

Those temps are in no way too high or low. I agree with Ed, get a fecal sample to a local vet.

So,hows the frog doing-what was the verdict ?

The fecal turned out to have nothing in it. The frog was weak and only eating a little and then I went on a 3 week vacation to England. Then there was that huge storm that knocked out the power for 5 or so days. The frog didn't survive that heat wave. The temps got up to around 83-86 in the frog room and thats what I think killed it. Good news is that all my other frogs are fine...

83-86 F should not be high enough to kill virtually any dendrobatids....

No. Local vet in gaithersburg. Well if the heat didn't kill it then I have no clue...
