Hey Grif actually it's not necessary to throw away the plastic decor in the cage, since they usually cost people quite a few bucksI would just soak them in 1:10 diluted bleach solution for 30 minutes then complete drying will get rid of any chytrid left attaching to the decor. Substrate I will most definitely discard no questions asked. EcoEarth is cheap enough to replace.
By the way, I would like to clarify that 30 degree C is about 88 F, which actually probably won't cause heat stress in horned frogs if exposed about a week. Fortunately that these frogs are from warmer area of the world which are able to handle higher temp better than say frogs from the temperate zone.Heat stress is extremely dangerous. Kidney Failure is usually the result of prolonged exposure to temps that are much too high. It is advised to never perform the heat treatment on frogs because they can't handle it and WILL die.
casta, I would do what Grif had recommended. Get a prescription of Lamisil AT asap and perform the treatment to your frog immediately.Your best shot is to try and get a vet to prescribe the Lamisil AT. It must be a spray and not a cream.
When you get the Lamisil AT make a Luke warm bath of de-chlorinated water 200 millilieters and spray ten pumps into the water soak the frog in this solution for 5 minutes per day for 10 days. While the treatment is being performed over these 10 days the frog must be in a hospital setup with nothing but moist paper towels as substrate and a water dish. You can provide hides for security, but they must be easily cleaned so plastic hides would be preferable or fake plants. Everyday while the frog is soaking clean and disinfect the hospital setup and replace the moist paper towels with new ones. YOU MUST PERFORM THESE DUTIES EVERYDAY FOR THE ENTIRE 10 DAYS.
