I think there are dewormers out there for frogs... but I don’t know them and don’t want to give any wrong information. This is basically a bump for your post, somebody like Hoppy will probably read it soon and give you some good advise, I guess it’s just a slow period right now in the forum. You’d probably get a quicker response in the tree frog forum honestly even though it’s a pacman, I’m sure they know about this stuff and they normally reply within a few hours on that forum.

Whenever that happens, freeze it in a ziplock until you can get it to a vet so they can identify what it is and what meds are best to kill it with. Usually, not always, but usually, they’ll give you Panacur, although different parasites respond to different drugs. All you’ve got to do is drop a little measured amount (it’s a liquid) into their mouth; they won’t spit it out. I had to deworm my toad when I first got her (nematode infection); she didn’t like it but it wasn’t traumatic enough to stop her from eating or anything.
