Frog First Aid Kit

[KMAC]

Hello,

Im thinking of putting together a first aid kit just incase I need anything in the future.

It can be quite difficult to get certain antibiotics and medicines in the UK even though they are not illegal to buy at your own risk as far as I am aware.

This is the list, what its for and where I am buying it.

What I need clarification on is what the best % of solutions to keep or make and tips or tricks on administering.

Baytril 10% (Enrofloxacin)

Weight loss, listless, skin irregularities.

Please note the included amounts are not treatement doses for your animals!

A container of appropriate size to use as a "hospital" while you treat the ill toad/frog. And if water is a necessary part of their habitat, then ensure you have enough on hand. Particularly if you normally use tap water that you have to take time to de-chlorinate.

Hey privet this yein aint on proper husbandry its on meds for a first aid kit

[privet01]

Oh... your title says "first aid kit". Of which they do contain non-drug items. But I'll take the jab if your intent is otherwise <<grin>>

I thought it appropriate as I wouldn't be dispensing meds to a frog/toad that is in the same viv with others. Just as a good first-aid kit for humans contains gauze, band-aids, tweezers, etc.

Its very appropriate to have a quarantine kit, so ill take the hit since I didnt mention meds only

[tgampper]

I would like to suggest BACTINE as a good topical for minor wounds and bacterial infections and it's safe for amphibians. I have used it a lot with good results. Usual treatment swab small amount to wound twice daily until cleared.
