Help! Frog has worms

[Hoppity100]

Yeah, I read about it, maybe you have to get them from a vet. But, how would this be given? By mouth?

Hi, Hoppity100! the probiotics that I give my frogs are really for people but they can also work on frogs. You can give it to them if they stop eating, or if they start to lose weight. Use one capsule and Soak your frog for about 2-3 minutes in about two cups (half litre) of filtered water. You can buy the probiotics at any health food store or CO-OP.

human probiotics would so something only if they are giver per os. Frogs and humans are so different in their digestion that they would do nothing other then stressing up the frogs. there are no probiotics for frogs and they don't need it.

froggir13 - how the frogs are doing?

[Froggir13]

Hi, Lija! I have tried the probiotics before for my other frog, Blueberry who had a prolapse and it worked.

Oh, thanks for telling me,...Someone else wrote to ask about them. It sounded like something from a vet. I am glad you mentioned them as I can have them on hand. But, are they effective by absorption thru frog's skin? And, there are no antibiotics just vitamins in them?

Hi, guys! update on my frog. Today I'm going to give my frog some probiotics to help get his tummy back in balance. Shnookles still seems to be a little bloated. I am keeping my other two frogs in another tank and they have not had any contact with Shnookles. I'm treating him with probiotics right now and I will keep you updated. Thanks!
