    He's going to send me Panacur and Metronidizole; I asked for express delivery, it cost a lot more but I think this may be a time sensitive issue!

    I think these are wild caught WTF.. idk how captive bred could have such a heavy parasite load.

    My like to your post before wasnt because i like the results but the fact that now you know and you have meds coming.

    Did he explain you how to quarantine them? Both separately with complete full disinfection of everything inside every day until you get clean fecal ( hopefully 3 weeks after start of treatment).
    What is your treatment protocol?

    He said instructions are coming with the medication, I hope I have them by Monday. It could be here by tomorrow with luck.

    My plan unless noted otherwise is to be cleaning out these enclosures with a bleach solution every night. I am going to pick up two more 10 gallons so I can easily swap the frogs from one enclosure to the other as was recommended previously. I do not want my frogs to get infested again. After 2-3 weeks I am going to send another fecal exam to Dr. Frye, if they are in the clear I will add them back to their main enclosure, which has been broken down and will be bleached out entirely and have all substrate changed, clean all the decor, dip the plants in a bleach solution, ect..

    This has been kind of a nightmare! I don't want to relive it.

    I have the house to myself this weekend, sounds like I will be busy after writing all that!!
