Re: Ugh... Medicine not working...
Thank you guys for all the replies! Dr. Frye is the one that prescribed the metro. He didn't say I should treat the other frog or quarantine my sick frog. I really considered it, but didn't want to further stress him. I'm going to get out the quarantine tank tomorrow and put him in there. Since Lrrr is showing no outward signs of sickness how should I treat him? I don't really want to give him a 20 day course of metro if it's not needed since, as others said, it can have some serious side effects. I thought 20 days seemed like a long time, but that's what Dr. Frye's subscription said. But the good news is that Glurmo ate a small cricket on his own tonight. That's the second time he's done it since he's been sick (for about a month) and I've force fed him three times (all last week) since he hadn't been eating. He refused the second cricket I gave him though. Hopefully in quarantine he'll start to improve some more? Also, should I get the panacur still? I have a scale that I can get accurate weights on so I can give the proper dosage. I don't have an amphibian vet around me so my options are limited to Dr. Frye, and self treatment. Sorry if I'm rambling a bit. This has gotten very stressful over the last month and I'm just very discouraged. I'm glad I have this forum to help me out though
