    She is doing much better now. Nothing is worse than comming into a room and seeing your frog belly up in a soak tub. I suspect electrolyte poisoning from the pedialyte ( along with the stress from her first soak). I did the 1:10 ratio, but I'm thinking that might have been too much for such a small frog. If she pulls through completely I'm thinking about a name change... something about overcomming possible deadly conditions. My daughter is calling been her Little Mojo last couple days.

    Dan electrolytes do not poison you or frogs. Electrolyte imbalances yes, but Pedialyte is designed to balance out electrolytes in the body not cause an imbalance. Calcium is actually an electrolyte in itself. Flipping over is a sign of severe stress which is most likely from all the handling not from the Pedialyte. If it was actually mixed at a 1 to 10 ratio there would be no possible way to cause damage even if the electrolytes were able to cause the frog to Tox Out.
