How soon to stop daily feedings...?

He had a lot of protozoa. The doctor gave me a syringe and I just dropped a certain amount onto him every day for four days. I probably should have removed the water bowl for an hour to make sure he didn't soak it off, but I didn't think of that at the time

Hmm... so far I've been told to medicate orally, which worries me because of the stress, short of being able to inject the stuff into a bug and get them to eat it... So did you go to a herp vet or a regular vet? Have you had a clean fecal test on him since the medicating?

Orally? That seems a bit weird but I know nothing about animal medicine.

I saw a vet who was familiar with reptiles, not frogs so much, but it sounds like he did research. I'll need to get a fecal test done next week.

Yup, meaning I either have to inject the med into a Waxworm (or similar) and get them to eat it (which would be less stressful) or I have to hold each one, pry open their mouths and squirt the liquid down their gullets... which would be my last recourse of action :/ looking forward to seeing what your frog's next fecal exam says, I hope the meds worked and he will be ok!
