Protozoa, but it's okay?

[elly]

I had a fecal sample done and apparently Bonk, my White's, still has protozoa, but the vet doesn't want to treat him again. He said that as long as the frog doesn't have runny poop and is eating normally everything should be okay. Is this reasonable? I don't think it would be a good idea to treat him again so soon after his first treatment, but I'm not sure about not treating him at all.

Most Protozoa are commercial and there is no need to treat, sometimes "free range" Protozoa gets in a poop to show false positive results.
So it all depends, if Protozoa present in small amounts, frog is eating, feeling ok, poops are formed and normal, treatment is not recommended.

He said there were a lot, so I was wondering. Bonk's poop is mostly solid, so I guess he's okay otherwise. Thanks for answering.

Anyone have any idea if it would be okay to move him into his permanent tank now, or would it contaminate the tank?

How long has it been since treatment? I'd, personally, wait 4 weeks after treatment is finished before moving him to the qt tank.

Thanks. It's only been a couple of weeks. I'll give him more time to flush the protozoa out if you think that's what will happen.
