It appears to be a big bulging hemroid. A pink fleshy tissue sticking out of his rear end. I have misted him, soaked him, no retraction. Anyone seen this before?

Your frog has a prolapse. They can be treated with a sugar water mix. Let it soak in the mix for a while and the swelling should start to go down, and possibly back in on it's own. If not, sometimes they need help with a q-tip. Jay or Krusty can help you more over at FrogFreaks.com. Good luck with the frog.

if you have not resolved this issue already, then the prognosis is not good. The frog will need to see a vet ASAP. Rectal prolapses are a very serious issue, even if dealt with promptly. Even if you are able to reduce swelling enough to push it back in on your own using a Q-Tip or something, it might pop right back out. Prolonged periods of time with an untreated prolapse will lead to the frog's death. A qualified vet should know what to do.
