[Rocky Raven]

McFly started the meds from Dr. Frye yesterday. The neosporin really helped and now he is definitely on the road to recovery. Here is an update on how he looks. Thank you for the help. I hope he can move back in with Biff in their main tank soon.

Glad your frog is doing much better, now continue it's treatment until frog is fully well !

Wow!
Great job----good for you !
Great to see !
I'm sure you know McFly needs to be 100% recovered before he re-joins his tank mate!

This is a great opportunity to reinforce how important it was to get this frog treatment so quickly !
pigglett79 has done a really great job !
It's so important to get the proper medications, know what you are treating , and keep medications on hand so that treatment can be started as quickly as possible after getting the proper instructions.

I believe SSD and Baytril are being used topically on this frog ( please correct me if I'm wrong )
It's so important to keep clean enclosures and keep the SSD , in particular, on hand for tree frogs!

Thank you everyone for your comments. Yes Lynn you are correct, he was on neosporin 2x per day for a couple days and is now on SSD and baytril. I thank you for your help and I doubt he would be doing this well without this forum.

Mcfly is looking about the same. He didn't eat last night though, I am hoping its just from the meds. I am going to be re-doing their enclosure this weekend and making big changes for their health. I didn't realize that a false bottom planted viv would be a bad idea for these guys. I will be taking It all out and using fleece flooring and potted plants instead.

[flybyferns]

Don't worry about one night.
He probably just needs to poop !

He's so cute-I love his freckles

Hang in there ! This can take a long time.

mcFly is still doing well. He is eating and active and did shed yesterday. I am hoping he can move back in with Biff in another week, he doesn't like his temporary housing. I re-did their enclosure this weekend. I took out the false bottom, all the soil, put the plants in pots and cleaned everything really well. I now have fleece on the bottom and it is looking really nice. I will post a picture when it's done. Here is how McFly is looking this morning.

McFly is doing great, 21st and last day of medication is today! I think he did fatten up a little too much during treatment though haha. I tried to keep him well fed. Anyway, here is him now and he and Biff are happy to be back together. I also re-did their tank, took out everything and now it has fleece on bottom and new magnet pots for the plants as well.

Congratulations! This is great to hear .

Just wanted to keep updating in case anyone else goes through a similar situation. So last Friday was McFly's 21st and last day of medication. I stopped it as he looked 100% better and the meds were prescribed for 14-21 days. Well within 2 days his infection and discolored skin started coming right back. I contacted Dr. Frye and he suggested that further testing might be required. I did start the meds again just to keep the infection at bay while I figured out what to do. Today I went to my regular vet, who does not see exotic pets and she agreed to give me a swab so that I can swab McFly after stopping the meds for a few days and she will send it out for culture and sensitivity testing. This test will allow us to learn what type of infection it is and what medication should cure it. Of course my friends and family think I am crazy to keep spending money on my poor frog, but if it is something that can be healed, it is worth it to me. Here is how he is looking now. I know its poor quality.

Hopefully you'll get the results soon. I've found that often their infections take about 6 weeks to completely rid if. Not always the case though. It also depends on the infection bacteria, fungus, parasite, etc., and the dose and medication needed.

Good luck! Please keep us posted!

Thank You. Yes Dr. Frye did suggest that as he responded to the meds he may just need longer treatment, but of course he also said that doing the culture and sensitivity testing would be the best option. As soon as I get the swab I will re-start the medications until we get results and determine whether he needs to be treated with something else, or just the same meds for a longer period of time. The good news is that he is eating and very active, so he does not seem to be effected much by the skin issues so far.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to give an update on McFly. He is doing great! I did give him a 30 day treatment with the meds and he is now doing fine. He might be a little overweight as he is a pig and I wanted him healthy during his recovery. But thanks to Dr. Frye and this forum he is great.
Here he is tonight, not the best pic, but doing well.

[Heatheranne]

Great job!!!! It's so nice to hear success stories. Welcome to the healing side of our world .

[kueluck]

It's a great feeling seeing one turn around to the healthy side, and he looks amazing. Well done.

Yeah, I would keep an eye on it. My poor Mcfly went from bad to worse in a short time. I did notice a discoloration for a couple weeks before it got as bad as being an open wound. He is great now after the meds Dr. Frye sent.

Here is McFly and Biff waiting for dinner tonight.

[Kara Bellamy]

yaie glad hes ok I put pics up of my Bijou in a diff post atm im stressed because unless I get art commishions or a swap persay I wouldnt be able to get med from the wonderful doctor here on the forum all I have that I could possibly use is Neosporin >.< and although my vet could look at her next thurs when I take my service dog in just to be kind, they are not amphibian experts.

[pigglett79]

Try the neosporin, that is actually what I began with and I saw drastic improvement. Just be sure its plain neosporin without pain reliever.
