Sick Whites tree frog

[Heatheranne]

Hi Jessica,

It sounds as though she is constipated or still has an infection. Could be both. Her right tummy has a bit of "fullness" in appearance. Does it feel full on the right side or like a bump? Is it nice and soft or hard?

She still looks good and hopefully can still recover.

Put her into a hospital tank with paper towels as flooring (changed daily), a water bowl with dechlorinated water (rinsed and water changed daily). Add a background to the outside back and 2 sides to help her feel safe. You may want to add a safe, smooth-edged plastic or artificial plant for her to hide under.

Warm up her tank to 80'F with one warmer basking corner of around 85'F and keep her humidity at around 70% for now, until she is better. You might have to mist more often or cover more of the top of the screen lid.

Try a honey soak tonight to see if you can get her to relieve the constipation. Use plain honey and dechlorinated water at approx 80'F (lukewarm). Have her soak for 15 minutes. Follow this soak with a plain lukewarm water soak in just dechlorinated water for another 15 minutes to rinse off any honey residue.

If you can, get some non-powdered medical gloves so you don't expose her to any excess germs (human germs) when you have to pick her up. Try to handle her as little as possible.

Do not feed her tonight. It will just add to the amount of feces in her intestines. We'll let her belly rest while we provide some sugar and fluid.

Pick up some plain, clear Pedialyte in the infant section at any store and some distilled water or spring water. Make her a 1:10 mix of 1 part Pedialyte to 10 parts water and give her a nice 15-20 minute soak. You can do this every other day for about 3 soaks. You can also drop the drops on her back of she's too weak to soak. Keep her nice and hydrated. This will help with rehydration and electrolytes. ***Start the Pedialyte soaks tomorrow so you don't overload her system with electrolytes.

I would call your vet today and let them know. They might want you to bring her in. They might need to add another medication or change what she is on now.

Did they say what parasite they were treating?
