has anyone ever heard of this disease or experienced it???

It's not a disease, it is a condition brought on by using too much vitamin and/or mineral supplements. This can be just as dangerous as hypovitamintosis, which is the root cause of the majority of problems in captive herps. Instead of using supplements every feeding (usually 3xs a week), use once a week for adult animals.

Yes, I WOULD stop using calcium supplements every time I feed her, but I am fairly sure it is TOO LATE. She is really bad off.

You have not even described any of the symptoms. Have you taken it to a vet????

Is this the WTF with kidney failure, tight skin, not eating? If so, if you had told us that you had been dusting every feeding we would have known right then what the problem was. If this is the case with your WTF, it is too late to reverse kidney damage this advanced. Please don;t take me as being harsh, I'm simply trying to be honest and straight froward. If I were you, I would stop force feeding her and leave her quiet and undisturbed. Kidney failure is very painful and isn't exactly a quick process so you may want to consider putting her down to end her suffering. As Henry said, please do not allow the vet to do a needle aspiration or anything else for that matter as that will just cause unneeded pain for you frog. I'm very sorry for your frog and if i can be of any further help, please let me know.

I wrote an entry a few days ago about what was wrong ("HELP! WTF is ill!!!" and I have a appointment on Saturday, the earliest the vet could see us.
