He doesn't seem to mind his chicken flavored antibiotic, and doesn't seem to mind me opening the lid to the tank anymore. He still hates being picked up, which is fine because I don't plan on handling him except when necessary when this is over. Thank you all for your unending patience and help. I know I'm a pain. LOL.
Working with sick animals really does build trust that it would take forever to build otherwise. I've done a lot of rehab work with wild animals, and it's amazing how friendly they become, even ones that are adults and have spent their whole lives in the wild. I guess they figure if you aren't going to eat them when they're weak you're probably safe lol.

This may be one of those products that is possibly safe for Reptiles, but not amphibians.

Can you consult your exotic Vet?
Any medicinal properties as well as the smell of a plant like cloves comes from the essential oils. If they're using it as an ingredient or for aromatic purposes it's a safe bet that there's enough oil to have an effect. Yikes.. After looking at the ingredient list I'd be wary of giving that to even my reptiles, but I'd never give it to my frog.
