sent in a few fecals to dr frye and they called saying it was the most hookworms they have ever seen in a single examination. My girlfriend was on the phone with them since she had already done the credit card over the phone to pay. They were telling her what to do to and talking to her about the medicine and everything but one thing hit me the wrong way. They said to do the 10:1 water/bleach ratio and to spray their paper towels down with them. that it would kill the hookworms. Im no expert but every time i read about bleaching to clean i hear RINSE RINSE RINSE. but in this case they said to leave it in there? I called back to see if she may of misunderstood because i wanted to be DEFINITELY POSITIVE before i put my frogs anywhere near bleach. She said the lady that my girlfriend talked to is out for lunch and i could email Dr Frye. I have emailed him and Im still waiting on a response. I just wanted some opinions. maybe my girlfriend misunderstood? maybe it wont hurt the frogs? i had a dog that had heart worms and they gave him cyanide to kill the heart worms which almost killed him but did kill the heart worms in the process. so im not sure...
also. i have a potted pothos in there. and a piece of driftwood. im thinking of throwing them both away. maybe bleaching them and putting them in the trashcan so i dont pass the disease around. unless yall think otherwise? it would be no problem for me to buy a fresh piece of driftwood once all the hookworms are gone and put it in the viv. same goes for the plant.
vet said we will have to treat them for months. even treat them after they show no signs of hookworms because they can show up a few fecals later. so after all is said and done can i get rid of all of them?
