We have an appointment at 11:30.. that was their earliest time =(. We had him now for only about 2 months. He was from petco.

I got 3 from Petco 1-31-13, all are sick and being treated for various stongeloids, giarda & mites. Other members have sick ones from Petco also. Never again from a pet store. Hope your little one makes it. Keep this updated.

yeah I've seen that! I've gotten them from petco before when I lived in NJ. They lived a REAL long time. I had them most of my childhood and this is the FIRST time I have ever even remotely had to deal with this. I feel so bad. I did try a force feed, but hes still a little guy. I cant get him to open his mouth to even stick a worm or cricket in. Even while he is doing this clicking routine. I did run out to walmart and buy the pedialyte and soaked his little body. Still not much movement from him at all. I get excited even if he just lifts his head. poor guy =(

I just answered your message. Good luck and let me know how it goes or if you need any more info.
I forgot to say to do the pedialyte soak and give meds at different times. The Baytril gets absorbed through the frogs skin, so you wouldn't want to give him the Baytril, then put him in the soak. I did soaks in the am and meds pm.

alright everyone..off to the vet..wish us luck! hopefully he will hand us the baytril we need!

Alright..well good news was we did find someone very helpful. The vet said it wasn't my fault, and that the frogs from petco are not captive bred =(. They are almost always sick and he treats the ones there. We got the baytril and hes got less than a 50% chance of making it. We gave him his first dose so lets hope! Very nice vet I would recommend him to anyone in Florida. I wanted to thank everyone for the immediate support and the idea about the pedialyte. I wish his chances were better but I will keep you updated!
