Thank you Heather! This is very helpful, and the fact you have successfully healed RETF in the past, is very encouraging.
I'll resource the saline you described and dilute as appropriate while I wait to receive the meds from Dr. Frye.
My frog (still unnamed) is solo in her tank. Would you still advise a hospital tank? Her substrate is paper towels which I have been changing daily, and I clean her dish daily as well.
Just thought I'd post what Dr. Frye emailed me, for anyone who may need the information in the future.
Dr Frye:
"I'd recommend using Silversulfadiazene lotion on all the wounds on the
body, and NeoPolyDex drops on the eye itself and the wound so close to the
eye.
Meds-
As a first aid kit, I strongly recommend having a few drugs on hand at all
times. That way when a medical problem arises, you just need to contact
me, and I can steer you down the right path.
Metronidizole is an antibacterial, antiprotozoal, and APPETITE
STIMULANT. It is $30 per 100 mLs.
* **Silversulfadiazene is a topical antibiotic and antifungal
that promotes healing while discouraging scarring. It should be used on
ALL skin lesions and costs $34 per ounce.*
Baytril is a strong systemic antibiotic that needs to be mixed
carefully. It costs $24 per ounce and is mixed according to the size of
the frog treated. Only a few drops are used daily.
Panacur is a powdered dewormer. It is very safe and easy to
use and costs $14 per spoonful.
Shipping costs $11 for Priority on any order that includes one
of the liquid medications. If you purchase Panacur alone, shipping costs
$2. I can not ship medications outside of the United States."
He is such a great resource for those who own frogs...
Just an update on my frog:
the accident took place on Monday morning, and already her wounds look a lot better. Here eye is still about the same, but as soon as I receive the eye drops, I'm sure she'll be on the mend for sure.
Thank you everyone for your help!!!
