    All stop and re-group. Panacur does not get rid of all parasites but does work safely against intestinal worms. Your veterinary should weight your frog and give you a treatment based on it. Also, based on the actual kind of worms present, there will be a number of re-treatments to deal with the eggs hatching into future worm generations.

    There are many kind of worms, and the reason for the fecal, is to identify the parasites (worms or protozoan) or if bacterias are the cause. Then the proper treatment can be applied. Would not mix any other treatments with Panacur unless under the care of a veterinary that is experienced and trained to work with amphibs. Hope Lija reads this thread and adds her comments too. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    That's just what I did with my other vet - weighed Frog with a digital gram scale, gave them hat number, and they concocted the Panacur. It was they who ruled that Frog had nematodes. Did treatment as instructed - give dose ONE that day, give SECOND dose two weeks later. Waited two weeks and then had fecal done at new vet. Told me there were still larvae there but they weren't parasitic. Puzzles me, too, especially seeing Frog's waste still looks odd. Still in hospital tank and disinfecting daily. Sent stool pics to new doctor. Don't know what to do know.

    A Panacur/Metronidazole(Flagyl) suspension should be used to treat this. It will rid the frog of various nematodes, intestinal bacteria, and protozoa.
