    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!
