your frog is probably dehydrated, and you need to get some food into him. mist him in his cage with water every few hours to keep him hydrated, since they dont drink water. then get some wet cat food, water it down to a fine paste and force a cricket sized amount into his mouth with a small syringe twice a day. this happened my my green tree frog, and my cats had got him. luckily, he played dead, and they got bored before they killed him, but he was so stressed he wouldnt eat. my vet told me the wet cat food thing, he said it was safe to do for a few days, and if my frog didnt perk up by then, i should start worrying. it worked almost immediately.

he is probally just dehydrated and stressed. I you see no open wounds just make sure he stays moist for a while and he will probally be ok. Don’t disturb him too much for a while as he already is stressed quite well I am sure. Reptiles when they stress hard get to a point where acids build up in their body and it takes them a while to relieve it as their livers don’t work the same as ours. Good luck, as long as he’s alive he will more than likely be ok.
