    Default Tiny little Worm looking bugs in his Poo!

    Hey Everyone...
    A friend of mine asked me a weird question last night and I didnt have an answer for him.. He asked: Why would his PACMAN have worm like little bugs in his poop?
    I couldnt give him an answer!

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    It is likely his frog has a parasite, which would need treated. He should take a fecal sample to a vet. He will need deworming medication. Panacur is a deworming medication that is often used, but it is prescribed by a vet.

    If left untreated, the frog will lose weight and vital nutrients from the worms and can possibly become anemic too.

    I would advise him to contact a vet and take a stool sample for testing.

    Heather is absolutely correct!! The frog needs vet prescribed medication to be de-wormed.

    Agreed!! The frog almost certainly has parasites. Have a stool sample run ASAP!
