Cuban tree frog runny stool, not eating, losing weight another one open mouth all the time

[wen]

No vets for Cuban frogs here. You can't hide a cuban tree frog in Florida as they are an invasive species, they only tell you how to kill them. I put him in a hospital tank and moved him to my bedroom around midnight lastnight. He ate!!! He ate 7 dusted crickets. I think his tank mate was being dominate, he was spraying like a male cat sprays and it stunk real bad and hopped on top of Billy (They are both males). I am buying him his own terrarium tomorrow and am going to deworm with pancure again in 10 days. I am not using the other medications. Like you said you cannot treat something unless you know what you are treating. I do know they had worms from the diarrhea and pancure is safe if dosed properly. Until I get accurate dosage and know it is necessary I am not doing anything with the other medications. I bought the medications after reading the what to have on hand medical kit on this forum. Thank you for responding, I sure appreciate it. I am waiting another hour to feed and praying Billy eats again tonight. No poop from him so far today. I could see his backbones last night and it just made me cry and after seeing him eat I was just filled with joy. My baby may be okay.

Panacur dose is 25mg/kg given as a single dose for 3 days in a row, repeated in 2 weeks and the next 2 weeks if needed. Fecal exam must be done before first dose, control test in 2 weeks, and in another 2 weeks if needed. All that time frog has to be in hospital set up with full disinfection every day.

There are severe side effects if dose is administered incorrectly, including death of a frog. Information above is for FYI only and cant be substituted with licensed vet advice.


On the other note i'm glad he is eating, he might be just fine, but if it is protozoa infection as i suspect, panacur wont do anything for it.

Thank you! Everyone has firm poop now, no more diarrhea. Billy is still thin, he ate lastnight and a few this morning too. I worry also they have protozoa. I squished Hannys poop in a paper towel and saw little white things in it.
Everyone is eating good now and getting used to their new surroundings. I ordered a 10/50 microscope and some zinc sulfate and going to do my own test, since no vets here will.
The microscope I bought is usb and can share photos online. So maybe if I am lucky I can share my slides with Dr. online and see what they think and maybe they help with dosage.

My husband is so tired of hearing about my frogs poop. He is going to think I am crazy when he sees me sharing slides of their poop online. hehe Just had to share for a giggle cus I sure need one after all this stress, these babies make me a worry wart.
