Bullfrog skin problem...

Back from the vets. Prescribed a 7 day course of Baytril injections that will hopefully clear up the suspected subcutaneous infection. Cross your fingers!

Be careful with Baytril. It is a very powerful antibiotic that can have negative effects along with the good effects.

Hi guys,

just to update this thread.

Well the 7 Baytril injections failed to make any difference so I took him back to the vet. They took swabs and while waiting for results, told me to bathe the frog in Alamycin solution for 10 days. This didn't help either. Swab results came back and he's now had the 3rd of three Fortum injections but there still doesn't seem to be any improvement.

Frustrating!

I have never seen anything like this before. Im sorry there is no improvement. This could*be some new disease all together. I wish there was more we could do.

Thank you for the update. I hope something is figured out soon.

Another update - I'm currently continuing with the Fortum injections every three days but again, there's no real improvement so I hoping that someone can offer further advice. The vet says that these injections are more or less the last resort. If this doesn't work then I may be faced with euthanasia...
