I'm so sorry your frog isn't doing well Hopefully the medications will help. Good job getting him to the vet and best of luck ((hugs))

Thanks for the warm tthoughts guys

This is hard. And i read that if medication gets given without knowing exactly what it is , it can turn into a fungal infection... which is worst to fight off

Wtfs usually live up to 15. I mean he is getting up there..

If he keeps refusing food now that the meds have been over for a day or two, with all the stress he has gone under already, should i force feed him?.

If he doesnt get better all i see is to put him to sleep..

Anyone with suggestions?

How long should i go with him not eating and crawled in a ball at the bottom of the cage?

They can make it a couple of weeks without eating... personally...I'd probably give him about 10 days. Did he have a rectal prolapse causing the bleeding? They did the xray, so unlikely to be a blockage then. Such a hard thing. Putting down a frog is not easy also, but better than prolonged suffering. I'd give him a good 10 more days though unless you notice a sudden change.

You could try contacting Dr. Frye and see if he has some input also - http://milanareaanimalhospital.com/aboutus.html - He is a great help.

Amy,


There was no prolapse either when i saw the blood trail, i was praying thats what it was...

Ok. Tonight is feed night. I will see if he eats!

I did email Dr.Frye this morning actually. Waiting on a response

Thanks again!

I would call in the morning and let him know you sent an urgent email, he should get back to you more quickly if he hasn't by then.

Update..


So.. found two solid small poop last night.

He still is lethargic, hangs out at the bottom of the cage cawled in a ball, so dark in colour like ive never seen, he is grossly skinny now you can see most of his bones and his tummy is just a flap of skin and he hasnt eat now in well over a week maybe even a week and half...

I forced feed him.. which i dint think now was a good idea but he took 2 waxworm.. better than nothing..

I am at a lost....
