Loose stools?

[NialR35]

To medicate for intestinal problems without a fecal analysis could make things worse if you treat against the wrong pathogen. Also, don't even know yet if frog is sick to blame condition on seller. They could have sent you a visually healthy and thriving frog and the trip stress give the upper hand to an opportunistic bug.

Repta Boost is a powdered nutrient for non-eating or very malnourished reptiles/amphibians. A Pedialyte (or similar baby unflavored electrolyte formula) bath is mixed at 1:10 ratio with 80F dechlorinated for 20 minutes or until cool; and it's objective is to hydrate, energize and provide a short term boost to help frog perk up and eat by itself. Good luck with fecal !

Okay but what do you think about the poop I found lately? Looked like a balloon coated with mucus, dark green/grey but nothing red or pink. Eating has slowed down a bit on and off lately and my frog has been in the water the past two days after a while of not using it.

completely normal. nothing is wrong with your frog.

Agreed! Your panic is probably causing the frog stress. They can pick up on your emotions.

This is a pic I took yesterday of a stool I found outside the water bowl. It's just that stools like these as compared to the solid ones from my Ornate that eats the same things, then the fact that his eating aggressiveness slowed down along with his appetite for a couple of days made me worried. I'm just going to feed it a pinkie like a friend suggested to make sure the poop comes out solid.

Well Grif, you were the first person to recommend me a fecal

First off fecals are always recomended especially if your frog has never had one. Parasites and bacteria cannot always be seen by the naked eye hense why I recomended the fecal. If you are this worried then there is really only two things to do.

Get a fecal and eliminate all possibilities of a internal parasite or bacterial infection or 2 take the new thoughts on the matter and let it be. Either way ifnyou have not done the first suggestion of having fecals done then you must not really believe something is wrong and are just panicing over nothing. I gave you advice and you chose not to accept it and take others advice. Don't call me out because you didn't take the advice I recomended without photo evidence to back it up like now.

No matter what anyone says here. Having a fecal exam performed should always be done on a frog that you feel is acting strangely or a new frog period. Better to waste money on a clean bill of health than wait and spend hundreds on a sick frog after its too late.

Woah, no need to be so hostile. I was not calling you out, hence the happy face I meant it as a joke.

Also, I never discarded the idea of getting a fecal done at all.

Ok then.

There will always be different opinions, BUT if you are really this worried that you have a thread that is nearly starting two pages about the same problem that may or may not be there it would be easy to just take that fecal sample in and rule out any further thought of something causing the frog to be sick would it not?

You can take everyones opinion here against a fecal and them be wrong and the frog pay the price or you can have the fecal done and be at ease. It is a simple matter.

Sorry about the hostile post. Sometimes these things can be frustrating.
