Protozoa, but it's okay?

His poops have become solid...but I'm still wary of putting him in the permanent tank and possibly contaminating it. If he's showing no symptoms in a couple weeks should I have the vet treat him anyway?

That is a question to ask your vet, it's hard to advise not knowing what a frog was treated for, what meds, dosage, protocol was used, what were fecals findings before and after the treatment.

Elly, what kind of Metro did you use on him, injectable? That's the type dripped on the back right? How much does Bonk weigh and how much med did the vet say to use on him? My treatment for my frogs' coccidia (injecting wax worms with Metro and feeding them to the frogs) isn't really working out. Thinking about using the drip method with the injectable Metro for my guys too, but wondering about the effectiveness after reading your post

I don't know what kind of metro was used and sadly it's been a while so I can't remember whether the dosage was 2cc, .2cc or.02 cc. It was in a very tiny syringe. Bonk weighed 22 grams though. All I can suggest is to call your vet.

Anyone know if this is good advice? Mostly for my own reference I'm posting it here:

The link to Vetinary Notes: Parasites the link doesn't seem to work. But there's a link on the main page too.

Very nicely written!
