AGTF still acting lethargic...

[aegillesp]

I took Laputa to the vet a couple weeks ago, and she got a clean bill of health but I still haven't seen much results. She is still super dark brown (she used to be a very bright green), she hardly eats still, I put a large variety in there in a bowl she can get to and choose from, I see very little poo and the last one I saw was white, which means she hasn't eaten anything. She just hides in one spot and doesn't really move. Should I take her back to the vet? I don't know what to do...

Hi,
i'm sorry about your frog
I'm not on the forum much anymore, so am not familiar with your frogs past...
but I'll take a look back on your previous posts and see if anything stands out.

How long have you had your frog? I'm sorry, I read back, but may have missed it.
I'm guessing this isn't usual behavior for her, and the color is not her usual color?
Have you answered the trouble in the enlosure questions here before? If not, may you answer now?

I'm curious if anyone has advised a pedialyte bath to perk her up?
10 parts treated luke warm water to 1 part pedialyte, 10 mins or so, but not longer than the water stays warm.
Then rinse her in a clean water bath.
HAve you tried repti-boost? It's like a frog/reptile formula for the malnurished.

When you got a clean bill of health from your vet, i assume she/he tested fecals, and examined her outer skin? Or how was the diagnosis concluded?
I would love to see a picture, if possible, of the frog and enclosure....

I've had her since January 31, 2013, so 3 months. She was super healthy and active and a fatty as far as eating, but now, I'm lucky if she eats anything. I have a bowl of phoenix worms, wax worms and crickets(tiny ones) for her. If I coat a cricket with calcium powder she wont eat it and if she gets it in her mouth she'll stop eating it and try to spit it out. I will give as much info as I can. My list for "Trouble in the enclosure" is at home, but I do have a good memory and I will fill out as best I can. The Doc gave her an appetite enhancer, but I didn't see any changes. He did give her a clean bill of health after some meds for her pinworm infestation. He said she had nothing but pinworms in her poo when I dropped it off. This was about 2-3 weeks ago.

Her enclosure


This is her a few days after I got her


What she is ALWAYS like now

I forgot to add, I took her in, he did a skin look over and a few fecal tests. I was not recommended anything but the medications that he gave her. I would like to try the pedialyte bath with her to see how she reacts to it. Where do I get the repti-boost? Im really close to force feeding and I really dont want to, last time I had to get her mouth open I made her squeak which made me feel horrible.

[aegillesp]

Last night I went out and picked up a few things, the Repti-boost, which I will give her later, Pedialyte, she'll get her bath later too, and Zilla's Jump Start Caloric supplement & Appetite stimulant. I couldn't find anything as far as information from other people about the jump start but I bought it anyway and I can always return it.

I've found two TINY white worms in the bottom of her tank, it's got me all scared. I just sanitized everything by Boiling like the doc said, and now I find worms... All I feed her is Crickets, wax worms and phoenix worms... I tried to take a picture of the worms but my camera wouldn't focus on something that small, it looks like a white blob.
