Help: Injured Bullfrog Care

Prob helps a little, but he'll need a bit more .

The Panacur came and I began treatment today while he's in the temp "tank". I removed the rocks and plant I had in there with him and sanitized the rocks. I removed the plant altogether because I assume it's totally contaminated with parasites. The issue is, that plant was his favorite. He absolutely loved sitting under it and even sometimes letting his head rest on the moss at the base of it.

I cleaned out his temp tank and then put him and just the 2 large rocks back in, then fed him a Panacur dusted cricket. Currently, he is sitting in the water, attempting to jump out. He only ever does that when I put him in the bucket to clean his tank. He's ignoring the rocks like they don't even exist. I think he wants his plant.

Any advice on what I should do? I absolutely do not want to contaminate his new vivarium with parasites, so treating him in the temp one is perfect. Do I keep his plant with him over the 4 week treatment and then just put him in his new vivarium without it? Or will that plant keep him infected the whole time I'm trying to treat him?

He seems stressed, trying to jump out...as I typed that, he started calling in his tank again, haha. Maybe he's ok, after all.

Eta: I covered 3 sides with towels and he is now sitting on a rock. I hope he stays happy with this set up for 4 weeks :/

Well, since your setting up his permanent tank/treating him I would let him keep it until he doesn't have any parasites, and once the treatment is over don't let him have it anymore

He's sitting on the rocks now, so I'll try to see if he remains happy with this set up. I'll just have to keep sides covered again like I did when he was doing really bad. I think the plant made him feel secure, so hopefully the covered sides can help meet that need.
