Trouble with Milk Frog please help!

[ATJC]

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.

You're welcome!
Just look for solution that is without flavours and colour. There might be powder instead of solution, that is good too, just add water as per directions on a package.

5 parts of water, 1 part of electrolyte solution. Water level no higher then frog chin. Keep for 20 min.

Alright I'll check the pharmacy tomorrow thanks.

Hi I can't offer any practical advise but I am presuming that the vet you saw was not an exotics vet? You can as the frogs owner ask that they consult with an experienced exotics vet. It is your right to do so if you are unsure or unhappy with the service you received. Manor Vet's (midlands) Manorvets Veterinary Practice 24 Hour Emergency and Critical Care West Midlands has an apparently decent exotics team, the tortoise trust has a list of vets by country, you can ring the practices and see if any vets have knowledge of amphibians. If they do get their name and find out if they would be happy to do a phone consult with your vet. To help get to the problem. I have done this before by pestering my vet to contact and exotic mammal vet to treat one of my guinea pigs, (yep even a guinea pig is apparently and exotic!)

Wow the lengths people go to earn quick cash 0_0 I think I won't bother with the vet unless something else pops up. I know it's a bad idea but I can't afford these insane prices thanks for the advice though, if I ever have to go back to a vet I'll be sure to ask them to contact an experienced exotic vet.
