    Default MBD in a Green frog?

    Great job!

    It's tough, but sometimes we just have to. I actually used a thick plastic spoon when I had to feed my pac. Ise whichever is easiest for you.

    I'm glad you got some nutrition and calcium in her. The choice you have listed above for electrolytes is fine.

    Dr. Frye said my frog's seizures sounded like a lack of vitamin and calcium. I live in a very remote place and even though I ordered my meds overnight, I didn't get them until 3 days later. However I got my frog back on track and eating on her own before the meds came. I still gave her the Baytril anyway once it came in.

    All I did was soak my frog everyday in a solution of non iodized salt, sugar (you have pedialyte so you don't need the salt and sugar), and calcium vitamin d3 powder (all I had) dissolved in warm conditioned water for 20 mins a day. After that I rinsed her in clean water for 5 mins. I kept her in a 15 quart plastic Sterilite box with air holes drilled in the sides. With the lid on it was pretty dark inside. Without any meds this is pretty much all you can do.
    If my frog hadn't started eating on her own I would have force fed her.

    So, don't give up.

    Smile Re: MBD in a Green frog?

    Yeah, she's become more lively, which is good. I'm wondering whether to give her 4 crickets, because I got to measure her properly, and she is now 3 inches from tip of the nose to vent, though not as big as Gnag's monstrous size of 3 and 1/2 inches. It's like they both grew overnight! They're both growing, and fast! In comparison to my chorus frogs or even my 2 long toed salamanders, Urtham and Gargan, they're incredibly huge!

    How much of each ingredient did you put in the solution, Ashley? I might try that, but I don't think Bumpy will eat on her own until she's stronger, and back in her refurnished tank. Remember, this frog is incredibly skittish, easily scared, and may have a parasite.

    And this is way, way, way overdue, but thanks to everyone who's helped me out here
    My Amphibians:
    1.0.0 Rana Catesbiana (Bumpy Digtoad )
    1.0.0 Pseudacris Regilla (Levi )
    1.1.0 Ambystoma Macrodactylum (Urtham and Gargan )
    2.2.0 Bombina Orientalis ( Rosa, Sasha, Aleksis, and Dimitri )

    Rest in Peace, Gnag the Nameless, Chrome, and Thermidor
