So my only real question at this point is the instructions say to feed weekly dusted crickets to the frog to administer the Panacur, does this mean they should eat several dusted crickets or will one cricket dusted suffice to start? My gut is telling me to start slow, since at least one frog is heavily infested with lung worms having a mass die off may kill the frog... right?

Michael ,
Dust their REGULAR feeding once a week for 4 weeks.
Hearing that they are very 'infested' , you might consider repeating the Panacur again tonight w/ a regular feeding.
This is especially important if the "dust' was not covering the cricket enough?

If you have a mortar and pestle--- grind it really fine first > then dust

You need to bang the intestinal bugs....
The reason it is done for 4 weeks in a row is so that you minimize the risk of re-infestation.

Speak to Dr Frye about the 'mass die off' concept??? I don't know about that?
As Lija mentions, a 2nd fecal needs to be sent.
? 2 weeks after treatment----check w Dr Frye on this as well

This is such an ordeal ! Sorry , Michael
I have been there....I completely understand what you are going through.

You could email Dr Frye - now....... about all of this
He has been kind enough to answer me on a Sunday
