White's Tree Frog Help

Oh and on the paste panacur note, has anyone used this before? its 25 gram paste at 10% (100 mg/g) its meant to be used as a single dose for horses, i obviously wasn't going to use all of it on a single frog, but would a dot of it on their back or diluting a tiny bit in water and then soaking them in it be an effective treatment? for now and future references

Honestly, I never dealt with dosing medications myself....I always sought a vet's advice on those types of matters. Better safe than sorry.

As far as your other frogs, I would just keep an eye on them and make sure they don't display any symptoms....thats really all you ca do at this point I believe.

Well thank you for your input regardless, I always appreciate the help. I actually spoke with a vet today and she said to dose at 50mg/1 kg with panacur, but I am not sure on how to measure out the paste to be positive on an accurate dose. That is why I am asking if anybody has dealt with this treatment before

[Beardo]

It might not hurt to see if you can get a fecal exam done on this frog....most vets will do it fairly cheap and that will determine if you even need to use any parasite meds or not.

yeah I'll probably end up doing that when I have some extra money. I just took a look at the frog and he's currently on the hunt, so i might just wait and watch his behavior a couple of days to see if he goes back to his usual routine. He might have just been having an off day and I over reacted. Little things like that can be make or break with herps, so I always make note of unusual behaviors. I am still curious on the paste panacur though, I would very much appreciate some input from someone who has tried it before. And thank you so much David for being prompt and honest with your replies, this has been a very good first experience with frog forum thanks to you.

No problem, its awesome that you are an attentive and observant keeper. Its clear the well being of your critters are a top priority, which is always a plus.

how do you ask don lisk? (sorry still not certain on how to navigate these forum pages)

[GrifTheGreat]

I believe you need to ask Don Lisk. I've never heard of anyone using a paste for frogs. I don't think its a good ideas as it may not be the same as the powder and contain some other additives. Like David said "better safe than sorry".
