Could I get some help with an injury?

I'm sure I just got missed. ^^;

I put a cricket in with sage (hurt frog) before giving him a soak. I watched for awhile and he didn't eat. So, I made sure I had the paper patted down so the cricket couldnt hide under it, and the top secure so it couldn't escape. I figure Sage might not eat since I'm there, and I'm pretty sure I scare him now. So I came back later, and the cricket was gone. When I went to clean the tank, it was not in his cups, water, or paper. So I think Sage ate the cricket, but theres a chance it escaped somehow. However thats doubtful, so I'm sure he ate it.

At this time I would go with stronger antibiotic like Silversulfadiazene. Repeating the treatment that failed (formalin-malachite green soaks) is probably not going to work well . Also, please ensure there are no sharp decor were frog could injure itself in tank.


Another option is to get Maracyn Plus (effective against gram + and - bacteria) at your local pet shop fish section and treat frog with it. Just follow the bottle's directions; but be careful you do not overdose. What I do is prepare a gallon of treated dechlorinated water and use it to replace the whole volume in the frog's enclosure water section as needed. That way the frog is exposed to medication all the time it's in the tanks water. Good luck !

Ill try maracyn if I can afford it. Thank you for the suggestion!

I havent been able to get the maracyn (yet), but i have been using the formalin-malechite green and neosporin. I think I see improvement, they definitely look more pink, and havent gotten larger or deeper.
