Gail, use gloves, good hand-washing !!!!!!!

Were the these guys ever kept w/ any wild caught frogs?

[kueluck]

I don't know, they told me they were c/b frogs but I highly doubt that considering their condition. And yes, I've been washing hands and using disposable gloves. I will NEVER buy from a pet store again, only reputable breeders.

Wow
Sounds so intense! For such little babies, this is terrible.
I'm going to do a fecal on my new arrival as mine came from petco also, I'll let you know what they find. I'm curious if all the babies were shipped already infected, or if it was contracted at petco...
Also, I must admit, I have NOT been really cautious when cleaning water bowls. I clean the baby's then go on to clean the adult white's and then the red-eye's. I hope I didn't cross contaminate anything. I DO wash my hands in between. Maybe I should have fecals done on all my frogs...

Gail, I'm so glad you didn't return the frogs! You're right, they would have died.
You are an angel.

I REALLY hope you have healthy ones. Going out to buy a steam cleaner now since I have to clean everything in their tank daily. Watch for runny smelly poop.

The Vets reply is:

Hi Miss Hill. Sorry of the lack of information going home with you. The medication is Ivomec. The fecals were positive for various stongeloids, giarda, and mites. Please let me know if you have any other questions.


Really doesn't help me know exactly what they found but at least I have something to show Petco.

Good gracious Gail, Poor babies!!
Thanks to you .........they will get better!
I wonder if you could make Petco pay the vet bill?

[kueluck]

I hope so Lynn, I really hope they make it through this.

Gail, i am so sorry to hear about your froggies they are in excellent hands now, so much better than petco. Sadly, it's hit or miss with chain stores. I think their employees are instructed to say everything is c.b. because they know no one will buy w.c. I give you a LOT of credit for your restraint, i would have been yelling and screaming at the manger long ago. But i am not a patient person when it comes to this stuff.

It really sucks that you had to tear the viv down because of it, but vivs can be rebuilt, frogs can't

And really, i realize this is a serious situation, but i got a giggle out of the buy 2 get one free fecal sample sale!! Lol
