Methylene Blue?

[coastal20]

I actually just bought a vet book on treating frogs and toads...Methylene Blue was one of the medications in there but I cant remember what it said. I will check the book tonight and post my findings.

Thank you. I ordered some on Amazon just in case, but haven't found anyone else that used it other than the link I posted.

Ok so I was able to find some information about Methylene blue dosage, but it is a little confusing to me.. Ill have to look more for the side effects.
This is straight from the text:

Amphibian Medicine and Captive Husbandry By: Brent R. Whitaker, Kevin N. Wright

Drug..
Dosage..
Comments
Methylene blue..
50mg/ml as 10 second dip..
Saprolegniasis, Tadpoles should not exceed 2 mg/ml

Saprolegniasis

Methylene blue..
3mg/l as continuous bath 5 days max..

Let me know if this doesn't make any sense (the formatting gets messed up when I submit)and I will just send you a photocopy of the page I got the info from.

So do you mix it with water or? I am horrible at understanding how to medicate.

I think the best idea would be to contact David Frye and his email is dr.frye.vetatmilan@gmail.com
He is very good with frogs.
He even has a first aid kit that you can buy.
I just don't want to give you the wrong information as there are many different ways of mixing it.
