so sad, two more died. One of them bloated like the first one and the other just died, no bloating or anything, it looked completely normal except that it wasn't moving. I'm hoping that it was the water since I just changed it right now, but I couldn't change it before because I didn't have any water that had been sitting out for long enough. The other three tadpoles look okay, but they were moving a little slow.

I would get a dechlorinator like Stress Coat, it instantaneously makes tap water safe.

I'm going to dose my frog today with pancur-c. I see that it states on this page 25mg/kg Of weight. Does this actually mean 25 Milligrams per kilogram of weight? Was this a mistake? Did they mean 25mg per Gram of weight?

It means what it states. You are using a canine remedy on a very small animal and it is hard to dose at that minute level. Just dust the crickets for 3 feedings, it's really easy. In case I didn't say it before;
DUST THE CRICKETS

I'm back. There is only one tadpole left, but it is doing very well. It has all it's legs and arms and jumps around every now and then. It's so cute When will it start needing something to eat other than fish food? Thanks so much.

I am planning on getting PANACUR in the oral form for my pacman since I suspect worms. My pacman is only about an inch in diameter so I am not sure what I should do about dosing since he is small. PANACUR comes in mL intervals. Thanks.

Flagyl (Metronidazole) I googled this and it came back as being a prescription. Is this true?

Hi I am new to this Forum -

How do I treat my WTF with Panacure C powder if She will not eat the crickets -- ???

She is 3 inches long and is 2 years old - her skin looks good - she had some skin shed pieces on her last night around her legs

She has only eaten 1 cricket in 7 days - She hangs out in the back of the cage on the moss- before she started acting like this she used to be up in the vines all the time when sleeping.

When we try to brush her nose with a cricket she squeaks at us and turns her head.

She has a mate - he still eats - but it seems not as much either. Before Christmas the female would eat 5-7 crickets every 2 days.

She was soaking with her butt in the water hole this morning for awhile i noticed.

Cage temps are 66 degrees in the night according to the heating pad under the Vivarium
They are 68 in the day under. The room temp in day is 69 - 71 and 68 at night in the room -- Winter here now.

substrate is coco husks with moss over - and water runs under with a pump thru clay balls and the water hole is lined with creek rocks.


Can i give her Panacur and Flagyl at the same time and Baytril? Or do they need to be alternated and how do I do this ?

Drops to the skin with a dropper - and How many for a 3 inch frog- or do I put drops in a bath ?

Should I bath her in Pedialyte if she is not eating at all -- how much ? do i mix with water too or pure pedialyte? How often ?


Thanking YOu in advance --- Mom of WTF beauties

For the metronidazole liquid what concentration does it come in??? I only ask cause I am a vet tech but we only ever use tablets and I have lloked at several pharamcies and they do not have the suspension either. Could you just crush up a 250 mg tablet and use it to dust food and put in spray bottle to mist habitat??
For the Baytril can you use Baytril Otic?
Thanks in advance. Nicole
