    Hi Phil.

    Sorry your frogs are not feelying well.

    As we await answers to post 3 and 5 :
    All three frog should be separated asap into their own hospital tanks.
    Your are going to have to set up a frog hospital !
    If you can, buy 10 gallon tanks, lids etc....as their recovery could take quite some time.
    They may have to be in quarantine for longer than 90 days.

    Instructions here:
    http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...-supplies.html
    and here:
    POLLYWOGS WORLD OF FROGS

    Panacur should not be used unless you have a positive fecal exam.
    The reason Lija is asking specific questions about the Panacur is because it is prescribed by weight.
    If the dose is too high it could be dangerous for the frog.
    It has specific instructions depending on which route of administration in which it is used.
    I may also need to be repeated?

    Confusingly enough, if the frog is under treated it can just make things worse.

    Your little guy is most definitely bloated. One or two pedi soaks would likely be ok. ( instruction in the above link)
    However, the all need the vet ! Bring fecal samples with you. If they have all been together, without any quarantine period --- they will likely have to ALL be treated.

    The diarrhea could be from the Panacur---but it is just as likely it could be something else.
    When you go to the vet - be sure to have all the details of the Panacur with you.

    In their hospital enclosures, continue to maintain all the proper humidity , temp parameters, and day/night light cycle, naturally. I would get small crickets, and bowl feed them continuing to dust. ( small = easier to digest) Feed them daily for now. Count the crickets each night so you can keep track of what each frog is eating. Return the uneaten crickets back to a bin to gut load. Sorry to say, I believe you should even separate their crickets! Clean the feeder bowls and water dishes everyday with HOT HOT tap water. Either use a new pair of powerless gloves gloves between each enclosure wash your with soap ( rinse well) between care. Friction gets rid of germs !

    Talk to you soon,
