    Reptaid Ingredients:

    • Mustard Seed - Used in fevers, colds and influenza. Helps move acute conditions from the body more quickly.
    • Black Seed - An overall tonic herb known for its effects on the respiratory system, stomach and intestinal tract, kidney and liver, and the circulatory and immune system.
    • Pau D’arco - South American herb that is used for parasites and fungus. Also used for dry cough, anti-inflammatory and blood cleansing. We also use this herb for it’s anti-bacterial properties. Large doses or continued use of this product can cause miscarriage in pregnant animals.
    • Cloves - To rid the body of any microscopic parasites and soothes the intestinal tract. Strong disinfecting action.
    • Grapefruit Seed Extract– Used as a parasitic for small parasites. Has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. For more information go to www.biochemresearch.com.
    • Alcohol - To bring out the properties in the herbs and preserve the tincture.
    • Distilled Water.
    • A single 1 ounce bottle contains 300 doses.

      I'm just asking because I actually have it on hand. The website says it's safe, but I really want to hear someone else had success with it before I try it. It worked great for my rescue bearded dragon, but they take it orally and are totally different than frogs.
    I don't believe it's safe for Amphibians. Alcohol is poison them and a small amount can be fatal. Clove oil is used as a anesthetic and for euthanization. Not sure if cloves themselves being in the formula would cause death like the oil does. I guess it would depend on the amount. This may be one of those products that is possibly safe for Reptiles, but not amphibians.

    Can you consult your exotic Vet?
