    Default Re: Calcium Lack Paralysis or Back Injury???

    Hello and welcome to FF! I'm sorry your frog is sick; guess the chlorine in water and lack of CA/D3 finally got to it. Please follow Lija's advice as soon as possible. This is the product she recommended: Repta Boost Insectivore/Carnivore.

    You need to dechlorinate water because today's chloramines are stable in water and will not gas off like chlorine of the past.

    For vitamins you can get separate products (CA/D3 and vitamins) from either Repashy (what I use) or RepCal. Here are some sample schedules to get you started: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html. Repashy also has an all in one product called Calcium Plus made for daily use. If you can't find Pedialyte; any unflavored plain baby electrolyte solution will do. Good luck!
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
