    The bath will provide electrolytes, vitamins, calcium, and nutrients that your frog is lacking as of now. It will provide a boost of energy and assist in your frogs recovery. Honey does as Ariel said and also acts as a natural laxative.

    When you get the Repta-Aid(Repta-Boost) For oral doseing follow the chart that comes with it for proper doseing. Two scoops in the bath as per my directions. Try this and keep us posted.

    idk if you have well or city water, but I wouldn't trust even treated well water for my frog. In addition to metals that water purifiers might not get out, well water can have CRAZY high bacterial concentrations. I've done lab tests on well samples, and I would seriously worry about it causing infection in a frog with a weak immune system.

    Next time you soak your frog support its head or something... If it's got MBD to the point it can't keep its jaw closed and has weak legs that can't hold it up correctly, I'd worry about water getting into its respiratory system.
