Constipation Treatments

[DVirginiana]

I will try running water over her vent. I have been doing a little massaging during soaks. I don't know if she likes it, but she certainly tolerates it well. She's very docile towards me. She tried to bite my fathers hand when he took care of her though. I found that interesting.
Anyway, I will do another soak with massaging. Hopefully I can get her to pass it without going to the vet.

To DVirginiana: I'm hesitant about the enema.

Yeah, that's always my last resort, but with the small zoo we have there just isn't money to take a frog to the vet, so I've got to improvise sometimes. It's the emergency treatment :P

Guess I'm gonna have to try the enema; The amphibian vet, as it turns out, has passed away.

That's terrible I hope your little one passes the poop. Have you tried the Repta-Aid?

[Amphibious]

It is. As I heard it he was a great veterinarian and a real nice guy. I have not yet, but I'm gonna run up to the pet store tomorrow. With the fact that my frog isn't malnourished, is there any-worry of vitamin overload with the Repta-Aid?

Possibly not. I have not had any issues with vitamin overload. Trust me my chubby Grif is no where near malnurished. It would be like giving him a multivitamin dose. You can use less than directed by the dosage/weight guide. It is worth a try. If you are worried about the overload problem you can skip a couple doses of your normal dustings. The Repta-Aid contains fiber among other vitamines and minerals. The only other thing is Laxatives, but with out a vet to give proper dosage I wouldn't recomend it. I really hope he passes the impaction.

Exactly. I wouldn't want to risk poisoning. Thank you very much, I do too. And thanks for all the help; I feel like all my thread titles might as well be "GrifTheGreat! I have a question!"

[GrifTheGreat]

No problem! I'm always glad to help if I can.
