The Error of my Ways

[Joe9252]

well i just started the soaking process guess ill do this for a few days and see what happens here are a few pics of the way i set it up... will this be ok how is the water level because he has been going crazy so far and he has only been in there for about 5 min


also i noticed he has some spots on his body are these normal?

Soaking him is a good idea! I think the water level is fine. He looks comfortable. Such a cute frog!!

[Joe9252]

How many days should I do this for?

You can't leave him in there for an extended period of time Joe. The water will cool and along with it him. All you can do is prepare newsubstrate with DE-CHLORINATED WATER. He will become more stressed and that will just make him worse. Prepare new substrate clean the tank and place him back in. Keep a sharp eye on him. Buy some pedialyte that is unflavored and soak him in a 10 to 1 solution. 1 ounce of Pedialyte for every 10 ounces of water. Make sure the water you mix with the pedialyte is luke warm or room temp(72 degrees F). Need to try and flush the chemicals out of his system and get him rehydrated with fresh de-chlorinated water. It can be reversed. I would recomend doing this imediately. He can't just stay in that water.

Do as I stated and keep me posted.

ok should i do the pedialyte bath in a separate container while i redo his tank?? how long should i soak him the that solution?

Yes do that while you clean his tank. Make sure he stays warm. The duration is 15 to 20. Minutes. Water needs to be as deep as what you have him in. Up to the chin. It also has vitamines so this will help with malnutrition from him not eating.

Keep me posted. I hope we caught this in time. He doesn't appear bloated and his eyes aren't foggy so we may have.

well i just did a major clean of his tank went out and got a background figured it could only help with the stress as well as some new gauges so i canbe sure of the humidity and temp he seems to be doing well went right into the corner and burrowed after i put him in.... what should i do now should i try to feed him in a few hrs or just leave him for a day to 2? also should a do more pedialyte baths?

[GrifTheGreat]

You can try to feed him if you like. I would continue with the Pedialyte Baths daily. Ill check the first aid section and post the day duration. I. Think its like 10 days. Ill post the duration.

[GrifTheGreat]

It doesn't say the day duration. I would do it for a week and see if their is a change. Keep a close eye on him.
