Help! Frog has worms

[Heatheranne]

Yes, They are correct. You'll need to get some deworming medication from the vet, likely Panacur. As Lija noted, all frogs in the enclosure will need treated, or they will keep infecting one another.

Remove the substrate and wipe down the floor. Use paper towels as flooring/substrate and change daily. Be sure to dechlorinate your water too. Be sure to change the water bowl water every day.

Most worms can be treated within 4 weeks with a weekly Panacur treatment. Most vets will want a stool/feces specimen. Get a fresh poo and place it in a new baggie for the vet to test.

Dewormer is the only way to rid of worms. Unfortunately they will not go away by themselves. If your local vet cannot help, (I'd call them first to check), then there is a vet in Michigan that likely will. Please let me know. If you need his contact number I will give it to you.

Good luck and please keep us updated.

It is very important to follow all the suggestion that have been a made.
Be sure to follow Heather's instructions regarding setting up a 'hospital' type set-up until you have clean fecal tests (poop without worms)
The vet will help you determine this.
Wear gloves when changing the substrate and water dishes --- wash your hands well........before and after.

If you should need it, here is the link to information for Dr Frye that Heather mentioned.
