    Thank you! I will definitely post as soon as I hear anything! She said 5 days for one of the cultures, and 14 days for the other! : ( We're going to do everything we can to keep him going until then! Thanks so much for keeping Kibbits in your thoughts : )

    He's definitely a little fighter!

    I hope it all goes well for Kibbits.

    I think with the way you are looking after him and going that extra mile (literally) to ensure he gets all the help he needs. He has the best chance ever and well done to you.

    First off - thank you Ebony for your kind words.

    We have not gotten the cultures back yet, but today we finally saw some real improvement! His belly looks white again, and tonight when I was giving him his dose of antibiotics, he went after a cricket (unsuccessfully though; the cricket jumped under the sitting pond).

    BUT, that's the first time we've seen any hunting behavior from him in over two weeks! It really really gives me hope that we can get him through this waiting period until we definitively know (from the cultures), what is going on. I just hope it's a sign that whatever has made him so ill isn't kidney or liver failure. I would think if it was, we wouldn't see any improvement at all!

    So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Tonight he was wide-eyed and happily sitting in his pond, constantly turning around to keep a good eye on the baby crickets in his tank. : )

    I'm so glad there's improvement. And thanks for keeping us updated. I'm rooting for Kibbits.

    My WTF has recently developed the same exact symptoms as yours along with the mint green spots shown in the picture. I'm really bummed cause I've had him since he was finger nail sized. Did he make a full recovery with the Baytril treatment?

    Its been awhile but if I remember correctly Kibbits did not make it. She had another frog who had the same thing and I think it was diagnosed as Chytrid. If possible take your frog to the vet asap and see if they can test for chytrid. That way you'll know for sure. If you have other frogs be sure to follow strict quarantine and contamination precaution procedures. It takes treatment but your frog should survive if diagnoised properly and treated promptly.

    Wow thank you for your quick response. That's really sad to hear I was really hopeful that things had turned out well. Unfortunately right now is about the worse time for me financially since the age of 10 so I really can't take him to the vet. I have mixed up the Lamasil solution Kurt has suggested and will be starting the treatment tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers! Its too bad that more often than not we have to confront possible death and many times lose frogs to learn a simple lesson :/
