I think my WTF may be sick..

I will check it out when I get home tonight.

I tried to place a dusted waxworm (since they don't jump around like crickets) on a credit card and get it in my frogs mouth. I can get his mouth open but not fast enough to get the waxworm in. He seemed to get really stressed out so I decided to not continue.

Ah, good news. I was able to take a cricket, dip it in some decholorinated tap and then get a healthy amount of Panacur on it. I placed my Whites Tree Frog in a tupperware container inside his enclosure with the cricket and he ate it. I would say that will be enough Panacur for the week, hopefully the appetite will come back. I am going to leave some more crickets in a tupperware container in his enclosure so he will hopefully eat, poop, and release some nasty dead lungworms finally.

Poor frog is so stressed, I am so happy I did not have to force feed him. Every time I have to move him he is releasing water/urine, which is a defensive move from stress I am pretty sure.

What a turn around, it's only been a few days and the frogs are both doing very well.

My frog that is fighting the lungworm infestation has done a total 180, he is not eating a lot but I am able to get him to eat 3-4 dusted crickets now when before he was only eating 1 cricket every three days.

He has put a little more weight on, he is active at night now when he was sleeping for days at a time before. He still has three weeks of medication to go but things really are improving very quickly.
