Trouble with Milk Frog please help!

[Lija]

Can you call them and ask?
Feeding - i wouldnt do it now, circling around might mean neuro damage, he sounds to be weak, he might not be able to digest anything. Vet who give meds without testing sounds irresponsible and clueless, it sounds he gave them to you just so it would look that he did smth.... What if he gave you meds you dont need or for the parasites frog has (if it has) these meds are pointless.
He probably gave you panacur, how did he say you need to administer it to a frog? Did he say what's it he thinks is wrong it? If he charged you ( id think quite a bit) he must be responsible for his actions.

I still hope you misunderstood him... I hope....

I did show up after closing hours so I'll give them a call tomorrow and ask what it is he gave me but he did say specifically that I had to drop the medication on a cricket or two once a week. I meant to ask why rather than on the frog itself but I was just worried at the time and it slipped my mind. He didn't look like he had any idea what was wrong with the frog but I am 90% certain he said the medication he gave when I was there (not the one I have now) was for stress and neural problems from the circling. Shortly after he administered the medication my frog did start to look a bit drowsy, it hung onto the silk plant but was doing it with one arm. Hope that helps in some way.

He administered? How?

He probably gave you panacur, it doesnt do anything bad, he might just gave you just to give smth, it is like vit c for people, it might help, it might not lol

if it is panacur it doesnt get absorbed, so the only way to use it is per os ( through the mouth). So you cant drop it on a frog.

you have a frog in quarantine? And properly set up? Did you get electrolytes?

ok look, i gotta go feed kids, be back later. ill be honest, i dont think it is an easy case, but keep trying to help him, it sounds you are really trying, i respect you for that, im just irritated with your vet.

i suggest you do another bath now, with electrolytes again and use declor water again. In general use only dechlor water for everything. You can also use natural spring water, just make sure it is not mineral water.

No I have to order it as I haven't seen it in any shops nearby so it won't arrive til latest two days time.

My other frogs have started eating so I thought I would try with my third but he isn't interested with anything I put near his mouth he just moves away from it. Should I hold him and do this or just keep trying?

I was editing my message, check it out. Electrolytes should be available in any pharmacy, they are used for diarrhea in babies. Leave him be, dont stress out more then absolutely needed.

Ok thank you and thanks for the advice. When you get back can you tell me how much of this electrolyte I should be using? I'll have a look for it tomorrow as everything is closed on Sunday at this time.
