I just lost one of my Colorado River toads. It was the little one that John had given me, so it especially bothers me, as I feel I kind of let him down. The toad came down with edema and was brought to the vet a week ago last Wednesday. He put it on a strong regimen of anti-biotics and the edema disappeared in the last day or two, and he appeared to be improving. I never missed a dosage. I went to medicate it tonight and found it dead. I feel like such a failure.
On top of that, I believe one of my tigers has a fungal infection, possibly chytridomycosis. So I am using terbinafine hydrochloride for the first time and hoping for the best. Chances are its not chytrid, but that doesn't make me less nervous.
