Re: ? stress
So an update for you guys, the day after I bathed him in the electrolyte solution he became extremely ill during the day. He let out horrible screams and was seizing for a couple of minutes. He then went stiff and stopped breathing for five minutes. I thought he had died, again! Well we put him in some warm water and he slowly started to breath again, so we made an appointment at a specialist exotic vet over an hour away. We took him and the vet suspected he was septic due to his colouring and behaviour, possibly due to a parasitic infestation. He also suspected a calcium deficiency. He gave us some baytril to drop on his back daily, calcium injections to give him twice daily and another antibiotic to give by injection every other day. He seemed reasonable well again at the vet and very lively, however he was not right again the day after and had some more big seizures, almost continuously in the evening. So the day after I had to make the exceptionally hard decision to put him to sleep the day after, we decided that he wasn't getting any better and he appeared to be quite uncomfortable. He'd lost his smile, so although it was a very difficult decision to make we know now that he's happy and comfortable in froggy heaven. Were going to get Freddie tested for parasites, and the specialist is going to have Gonzo to do a post-mortem to see if he can find anything out to help other froggies in the future. Its odd not having him around, and Freddie appears to be missing him so we are going to get two more new babies in the next few days.
