I've had my Pacman frog for about a year and a half, the previous owner had traded him in at the store so I don't know how old he is. I've had no problems in that time period until just recently.
Last Thursday I found my Pacman frog upside down in the morning, his legs stretched out, not moving. I've read about this before and it seems to be a sign of a chytrid infection. I flipped him right-side up and later that day went looking for Lamisil AT only to find that it's prescription only in my country so I have no means to get any.
The last time he ate was the week prior when I gave him about 20 crickets over the course of the week. Since then he has lost weight and has refused to eat. I've left him in a smaller quarantine tank for several hours at a time with one to two crickets but he didn't show any interest. Feeding with tongs hasn't worked either, anytime I hold a cricket for him he just closes his eyes.
Other things I have noticed are that his underside is reddish where the skin is white, he shed on Thursday and the skin was dark colored and he wasn't able to get it off himself so I had to help, he's been laying flat against the floor of the quarantine tank, and he has moved very little in the past few days.
I've looked for alternatives to Lamisil but haven't found any, is it the only option for treatment? Is there anything else I can do for him?
