I cleaned out our terrarium last night and guess I missed a tree frog when I changed plants. My daughter found him 7 hours later in her room. He is now not hopping correctly and has irregular breathing. I have tried warming him and offered him food as well a wet his skin. Is there anyhting more I can do?My daughter is watching him nonstop and Im afraid he isnt going to make it.

Good Luck, It sounds to me that you are doing everything you can do for the poor little guy. At least you found him.
I had one get out once and never did find him. (I think possibly the dog found him)
I am no professional, but it sure sounds like you are doing all you can do. Give your daughter lots of love and help through this time.

How old is the frog, you can probably check online for a common life expectancy. It could just be trauma from changing his habitat, but that does not seem probable.

Get it to an exotic veterinarian. Find one near you by going to http://www.herpvetconnection.com
and PLEASE ask in the tree frog forum on this site:
