So I have a grey treefrog. The other night I guess he escaped. I found him yesterday dried up in a sitting position. So, I soaked him in water (dechlorinated tap that has been sitting in a bottle for about a month). Well it's been about 17 hours, no movement but he does look like a normal hydrated frog. I've heard of this taking a full day, so is there still hope for the little guy? he's not stiff or anything, I can move his legs around and all. (Don't worry I'm not playing with the frog, just nudging his legs to see if there's any response to stimuli)
 
He kinda died
I mean he rehydrated and then died
My guess as to the reason? Which I should've also asked about in the beginning, chlorine poisoning
I picked him up from a friend who said she found him in her garage, and she had him swimming around in a tub of sink water when I got there. I wasn't sure of the effects or what to look for but I thought he'd be fine from that. As for the dehydration that couldn't have been the cause, because he was only dried out for a night. I used tank water from my cleanest tank to rehydrate him.
