Hello KimW, Lija and Bolisnide

This is Lynn the moderator speaking
This is always a great topic for good discussion.We need to think before we speak, listen carefully to what others have to say, and support thoughts other people have, even if they are different from ours. It's ok to say what you truly believe.

This is Lynn the frog keeper talking :
I believe it's all abut being prepared. A vet ( like any doctor) is the person responsible for prescribing a medication. Dr Frye is the one confident enough to do this via email- Thanks goodness ! He is the one who takes the time to answer a zillion emails , not only here but on other frog/dart forums as well.

Funny--- I spent the day just today ( ready to upload tomorrow w/ more than 20 photos) information for a new thread with instructions for members on how to put together all the necessary supplies for an emergency. I look forward to sharing it !

Personally, I respect Dr Frye, I have used his services ( more than once) , he has helped me save a dying frog that did not eat for 7 weeks. If I have to pay $113.00 about once per year to keep emergency medications on hand....so be it. It's a lot better than yanking my tree frog(s) out of there enclosure(s) , travailing to a herp vet that is 45 min away, and exposing them to the stress of being handled, etc. ie My 4 black eyed tree frog I purchased in May of 2012 have not been handled since the day they were moved from quarantine. I have red eyed tree frogs that have not been touch , by my gloved hand , for over 1 - 1/2 years.

As mentioned--- any vet is responsible for the medications they prescribe. I'm grateful to be able to take advantage of his services. I have 9 tree frogs ! One bad bug in my enclosures -----I'm doomed
Yikes ! I'd rather be safe than sorry

Look forward to sharing my new thread tomorrow!
