Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Ok, i'm totally confused.
I wrote earlier about my albino pacman being bloated. I could see blue through his skin, so i figured he'd eaten some gravel. I was origionally told i could keep my frog on gravel, and i read it in a book as well. Anyway. My little guy's bloat seemed to go away. I put him on reptile soil, and chucked the gravel. I hadn't fed him in a while since i figured he was impacted and didn't want to make things worse. So once he had passed what i'm sure was an uncomfortable poop i fed him a few crickets which he ate with gusto. I took this for a good sign. He ate, was some what active and when i picked him up he peed. the next day he was all bloated again. i can see a dark mass in his belly, and i think i might still see some blue. I took him out of his tank and put him on wet paper towel to monitor if he would poo. He did, and it did have some small pieces of gravel in it. He still looks bloated, with a dark mass insie him. So what's going on?, he can poo, because he just did, why the bloating. should i feed him again, or might i be making things worse?
Please someone give me a clue

It could be that he is not completely blocked and there still seems to be some gravel stuck from what you've said. If you can't get him to a vet I would soak him in warm water for a while and see if it helps him pass anymore. When I first bought one of my pac-mans he was impacted but soaking him helped him to pass everything. Hope this helps.

thanks i'll try that. I have him in a tupperware container partially on his heating pad. So the temp is up which i was told will help, and he has a shallow dish. I'm going to try feeding him, and hope he passes it again.
any more advise is welcome
