Default African Dwarf Frog floating on top of tank :(

My son had a ADF that went through the same thing--
the frog did die eventually, but it took a long time (months).
Basically he spent more and more time upside down
and ate less and less. It was awful. I suspect some sort of
parasite, but I've found no reference to this syndrome.
In retrospect, euthanasia would have been kinder...

maybe he's got bloat? and maybe he's inhaled an air bubble??

Not sure, I'll ask my wife about it


Thanks, though Floaty's problems are now much worse. After over three
days at the top of the tank, I found him on the bottom this evening
and thought "hurray!". However, three hours later Floaty was lying
upside down on the bottom looking very dead. I retrieved my net only
to find him sitting on the bottom normally. An hour later, he was
once again upside down. I watched him carefully and he righted himself
for a bit then moved accross the tank and flipped upside down again.
He not bloated and looks normal. I suspect he is not long for this
world. Can't think of what can be done for him.
