    Default Re: Friend's White's Treefrog is sick - looking for extra advice.

    Update;

    His frog shed, and seemed to feel better for a short while after that, but then returned to acting sick and general inactivity, which would lead me to believe that this is indeed an infection of some sort.

    I told him to keep doing what he is doing, but I wanted to try adding salt to his water as well; I do not know the dosage for this, and I was wondering if someone could tell me the proper dosage for a juvenile WTF. I also told him to try a honey bath to replace sugars.

    Any other ideas? If the salt and honey don't make a difference, the vet is the next step.

    I am no expert and do not own Whites, but I may be able to assist some. The Honey bath is to give your the frog an energy boost. There is no exact dosage. Just use one drop of honey per ounce of water. Make sure its de-chlorinated water and luke warm. Salt must be without iodine so no iodized salt. Natural sea salt is best. I believe you add half a tea spoon into luke warm water. I'm not sure of how many ounces of water though. You definetly don't want it to be too strong. He could also try a Pedialyte bath. Buy unflavored Pedialyte use a. 10 to 1 ratio. For every 10 ounces of water add one ounce of pedialyte. If the infection is external he can apply neosporine to the wound. He must make sure that its original Neosporine that does not contain a pain killer. ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN KILLER! It will kill the frog.

    If no change occurs seek vet treatment imediately. I hope the frog recovers.
