    Default Re: Help, infected rostral abrasion on White Tree Frogs!

    No, i meant how are you keeping them

    please answer these questions

    1-size of enclosure
    2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?)
    3-humidity
    4-temp
    5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
    6-materials used for substrate
    7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv
    8-main food source
    9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )
    10-lighting
    11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
    12-when is the last time he ate
    13-have you found poop lately
    14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
    15- how old is the frog
    16-how long have you owned him
    17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred

    meanwhile, make sure you keep your sick frog separately from the healthy one on wet papertowels in a enclosure with all 4 sides covered, provide enough hides, plants, etc, use ssd that you have 2x day on wounds and use Enrofloxacin ( baytril) 10mg/kg once a day for 2 weeks. It should be water based suspension, count correct dosage based on your concentration.use insulin syringe to administer dose, you needs to drop correct dose on frogs back. Do not handle and do not touch a frog unless absolutely have to. If it is getting better you still need to use it for 2 weeks.

    the main trick here is to provide as stress free environment as possible +meds. Im sure a frog is wc, so you have a long way to go even if/when she is healed.
    Of course long drive is not the best option, but Italy is well knows for reptile vets, in fact the last symposium i believe was hosted there i will try to help you, good you can get meds, here in north america everything is only by prescription

    i gotta go now, but there are a few things you will need to do for your healthy male too, not urgent though.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
