Treating for chytrid proactively, can be done using a terbinafine hydrochloride solution in which the frog is bathed daily for ten minutes over a period of ten days. To make the solution add 1 ml terbinafine hydrochloride cream per 200 ml of distilled water. Set the solution up twenty four hours ahead of time to allow the cream to dissolve in the water. Terbinafine hydrochloride cream can be found under the brand name Lamisil.
As for treating for parasites, my vet has stated dusting crickets with meds is not a good idea, because he feels that by doing so you are underdosing and producing drug resistant parasites. Fenbendazole and metronidazole should be given orally to kill worms and protozoa, respectively.
