Sick RETF????

[frankypooh]

I got two RETF last Friday, one is bigger and doing great. The other is smaller, and I was worried she wasn't eating, so I've placed her in a quarantine tank for now so I can monitor how she/he eats. I know she/he hasn't been eating for the past couple of days. So tonight I gave her a pedialite soak. And after about 10 min being back in the tank this is what she looked like... But she didn't look like that before the soak.... Should I be worried??

Did you have anything on your hands prior to the soak? I would very, very gently mist her with dechlorinated water. Looks like a chemical reaction. Was the pedialyte diluted 1:10 pedialyte to dechlorinated water?

Also did you do a rinse soak in warm plain dechlorinated water before putting her back in the enclosure.

I was sure my hand were clean. ... And the pedialite was 1:10 ...

Ill try misting her some more. I did soak her in dechlorinated water afterwards...

And how would I go about doing a reptoboost soak?? Or I shouldn't attempt???

Hi,
Is or ( was) this frog housed( at anytime) with the frog you were referring to in this thread?

Perhaps you might get a chance to describe the quarantine set up that was used for all?
i.e. cleaning quarantine tanks and pedi soaking dishes from frog to frog ( in-between uses)

Just to answer your question, she was never housed with Timbit ( frog in the previous thread). We got Toupie and Binou after we gave Timbit back to the breeder. Toupie was placed in the brand new enclosure and Binou was placed in a smaller tank, which was Timbit's. but I threw out everything that was in there before, and bought all new stuff for Binou, new water bowl, decorations, leaves. I also washed the tank thoroughly before putting everything in.

I'm so sorry . When they get weak or sick they can decline quickly. You did what you could to help. I hope your other frog will be strong for you.
