URGENT- Sick Golden Bell Frog- HELP NEEDED

[flybyferns]

Hi,

Carlos is a supportive and informative member here on FF , hopefully noted by all !
The pedi soak may do wonders !

Seems you are off to a good start.
Hopefully as things quiet down for them and they are given time to adjust..... the one you're
worried about will come alone nicely.

Repto Boost can be a great product.
As mentioned, re-evaluation is important, as you don't want to over do it.
Use it very carefully for the frog that is "?sick"
It is key to understand that it is a "diet" supplement.
Remember this does not cure a sick frog. It is used when they are not eating ...for supplementation.

It is a "critical care diet" and supportive care diet" used when a frog malnourished ( really skinny ) and dehydrated, recently acquired, to provide an "energy boost"

It is great when one is sure the amphibian was not fed properly.

Believe it or not , frogs that are severely malnourished ( according to the instructions) should only be given 1/2 the dose.

Severely malnourished frogs ( ones that have obvious muscle wasting seen in their limbs and bony spines) may be ill and should really be evaluated by a herp vet.

It would be really helpful if you could post a photo of the frog; as long as you don't stress it more by doing so.

Here is a photo of the package insert from the repta-boost: ( if you should need to call 1-800-735-8537)
