I've had great success using it against fish eye infections and is my favorite fish antibiotic (48 years experience with FW & SW fish). Have no first hand experience with frogs diseases yet and do hope it stays that way.

    This article has good information: Frog Forum - Basic Frog First Aid .

    If you Google "frog eye infection" will get a bunch of results and appears a drug called "Gentocin;" a sterile buffered aqueous solution with 3mg (0.3%) gentamicin (as sulfate Ph. Eur.) and 0.05mg benzalkonium chloride as preservative appears very successful. Only thing is; need to take frog to Vet to get it.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    I could always try another version of Maracyn. I almost bought Maracyn 2 but the clerk said it wasn't stronger and I was looking for a slightly stronger antibiotic.

    Yeah and the vet thing isn't do-able for me. The nearest herp vet is too far up the road, in a town I've never even HEARD of.
    I have a frog. She's fat and green. Her name is Gertrude, because she is fat and green.
