Whites Tree Frog in trouble..Please help!

[KimW]

I remember it taking a while after my frog was ill and anorexic, for his system to get moving, and for him to go once he began eating again. I wish I could be more specific about how long it took, but I don't recall exactly. I do know I was anxiously waiting as you are, and very glad when he did. It was definitly several days, I want to say even close to a week.

two more crickets gone today =)

Its two weeks to the day now..He is moving around and seems worlds better..I still see signs of the infection though and thats a little scary. He still does the clicking when hes walking on my hands or chasing the crickets. I also catch him sometimes with his mouth slightly open. Not open where you can see into his mouth..but just slightly open where you can see the pink of the inside of his mouth. Not nearly as open as when we first took him. and not all the time..just on a very slight occasion. Could there still be something wrong?

Since he hadnt ate in a long time I did not get a poop sample to the vet when we took him. once he does go..should I get that looked at to make sure nothing else is wrong?

I would continue to feed him daily until he is completely recovered.
So, glad to hear he is better !

Review:
-the clicking - I agree - it could have very well have been a defense mechanism
-the sagging mouth could very well be a calcium deficiency, of which takes time to correct

Keep dusting ! You have done a really great job! You have saved him !

You have been through a lot with him. I would do a fecal, the last thing you want is some 'opportunistic' parasite in his belly.
When they are stressed the likelihood of a parasitic infection is greater.

Poor little thing........and like Lynn said, "You have saved him" And you can NEVER go wrong with getting a fecal done. Hang in there, looks like the light at the end of the tunnel is just about there.
