When I had arrived at the vet it he had a change of plans. My vet contacted a Dr. Gentz who is his "go to" guy for reptiles/amphibians and got a second opinion. This is what the two of them came up with for my baby:

He gave us the Metronidazole in a powder form. Instead of giving it to him orally, he wants us to prepare a bath with it and gave us instructions to mix the powder in a liter of water (it says on the paper he gave me that its a 50mg/L bath) and soak him in it for 12-24 hrs. This is what I am supposed to give to him tomorrow.

I was also given Ivermectin which I was instructed to give him today when I got home. I was to give him one drop of this on his back and then get rid of the rest as he only needs one drop (the one time dose of this was 2mg/kg).

It says these doses are from "Amphibian Medicine and Captive Husbandry" which is available from the VIN bookstore. (This info is from a printout of the email between both my vet and Dr. Gentz..which my vet gave to me when we saw him today)

My vet assured me that this is pretty much an all encompassing parasite treatment. After this..he said I should have one sterile little frog. I hope this does it! Lemme know what you guys think! Ugh I just want him to be better. I've already promised him a huge cage when he turns around for some extra encouragement lol.
This is great ! great !
The Ivermectin is perfect.
Please let me know how he is after the Ivermectin treatment!

You have done so much!
You get the Super Frogger awared
