    Default Whites tree frog sick again

    As of 2 days ago i completed my second dosage of baytril for my Whites Tree Frog Slurp. She still isnt eating though and she seems very weak. I have given her calcium and honey baths so i know she has calcium in her. I know she still has red leg and was wondering if there is another way to cure it?

    1. Whites tree frog
    2.
    3.
    4. 18x18x24
    5. one
    6. With her brother who passed away from red leg
    7. none
    8. 45% (70% after spray 35% before spray)
    9. 75-78 degrees and 70-72 at night (occasionally higher or lower)
    10. Digital temp gauge and an infrared temp gun
    11. 75 watt zoo med bulb with UVA for daytime. 60 watt zoo med red infrared night light for night
    12. Water change every night or when pooped in I do it sooner. Full cleaning once a month.
    13. Well water for everything. No dechlorinator as it is chlorine free. never had problems in 3 years I have had her.
    14. Repticarpet as of now because she dislikes eco-earth.
    15. Clean with big bowl of water then clean repticarpet. wash off glass. make sure nothing except water ever touches her stuff so not to contaminate it. Plastic hanging plants.
    16. Tonight
    17. Yesterday
    18. Was 3 crickets every other day. sometimes did 1 one day and 2 the next etc.
    19. large cricket
    20. gave her a pinkie mouse for Christmas
    21. Crickets
    22. Roam
    23. Tetrafauna- reptolife plus
    24. Tetrafauna- reptocal (has D3)- Just about every feeding.
    25.
    26. 3 years, 8 months
    27. 3 years, 5 months
    28. Petco
    29. CB (i think because they were tiny when I first get her and her brother)
    30. Only when needed, more lately because I am worried about her. No gloves but always wash twice without soap to make sure no skin oils than i keep hands damp so i don't pick up and bacteria on way and never touch any door handles. But i make sure my hands are perfectly clean. #OCD about harming her
    31. Low traffic, my sister likes to barge in a turn lights on when its nighttime because she doesn't care about anyone. Other than that it is usually semi quiet, never have music or anything load playing in the room.
    32. Baytril for a week. i have done that twice at month intervals

    From what I have read in your answers you don't have her/him in a quarantine setup, papertowel substrate a plant and a water bowl. If you haven't done this it is more then likely why your frog hasn't got better from the redleg. Quarantine the frog and start again. I see some of the treefrog keepers are reading this thread and hopefully they give more input, but that is more then likely why your frog isn't getting better.

    I've just cleaned her tank fully yesterday. There are no other frogs. Do I still need a quarantine tank?

    Ya even its just the one you need to quarantine the frog. You need to be able to change the substrate and clean the plant and water bowl everyday. It isn't about just passing to another frog, redleg is a bacterial infection so you need everything to be as clean and disinfected as possible. The quarantine tank is the easiest way to do this, and when putting in the papertowel just give it a light mist to dampen it, you don't want it to be soaking. Unfortunately if you don't do this your frog will just continue to be ill, even if you look up redleg this is the one thing it always says to do immediately and don't put him back in his home till the redleg is gone.

    Any antibiotics to get it to go away? Baytril hasn't eliminated it and I'm open to suggestions. What do you suggest in a quarantine tank?
