hey guys, wats up.
I post this for one of my friend, he believes that his pacman is sick. How ever he failed to provide all the info listed in "trouble in the enclosure", so i just provide as much as i know about his pacman.
Two days ago his pacman started acting spasmodic every 2 or 3 secs, and some scratch mark have been found on the front legs.
According to him, the temp is about 19 degree Celsius at night, he provided extra heating source after he noticed the situtation. Right now the temp is around 26-29 degree Celsius. The humidity is at 99%(He believes that his hygrometer is still working). More over, since he didn't mention that his pacman lost appetite, I think it still eating well.
There is the pics of the scratch mark and the whole tank.
It will be great if any one can give some advice.
Thx.
that is one very good looking tank may i say.
it is not that bad, but frog needs to be in hospital set up and be treated before infection got more complicated, set up his tank same way it is now, but without substrate, on moist papertowels that you need to change every day.
get original polysporin WITHOUT painkiller, or any antibiotic cream without painkillers whatever is available in where you live. Painkillers will kill yor frog, so make sure you read all ingredients. apply it to the wound a few time.
melafix ( aquarium stuff) works well for that too. you can do melafix - it need diluting with treated tap water, use if for papertowels and additionally you may apply polysporin.
EDIT. i missed the part that he was having seizures, what kind of water does he use? substrate changes - how often?
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
Do as Lija has instructed. How often is the enclosure cleaned?
Is all water used for the frog and substrate treated with a water dechlorinator?
Sounds like the start of Toxing Out Syndrome. Spasms and seizures are signs of this illness. Basically the frog is poisoned.
Get back to us soon.
Thx a lot my friends, his frog is doing a lot better right now.
