    Default Re: White's Tree Frog w/Worms

    Yes I have had the same thing on one of my whites and it was a tapeworm.
    after they removed it quite simply by using a needle to make a incision and small tweezers
    The wound healed quickly. I kept her in a hospital tank with paper towels.
    and the vet prescribed a broad spectrum anti parasitic bath every 15 days.
    for 3 treatments and that did the trick.

    Sorry I don't remember the name of the drug.
    But I will try to find out later.

    I REALLY appreciate the reply! If you could find out so I could consult with his doctor, that would be amazing. He went in today and had a injection of a dewormer, which I am doing at 2 week intervals for 3 treatments until his suture removal. His incision was pretty large because the doctor was thinking it was going to be a growth removal. He said he removed all the worms he could find, but that it could reoccur over and over?

    Hopefully for him it will be less traumatic next time if it reoccurs. If only I could keep him calm to heal now!
