    Exclamation HELP possible Rhabdias

    So i was cleaning my pacman frog's critter keeper and saw some nematoade like worms in his tank. i panicked and put him in a warm water bath. he was already in mid shed and i saw that there were those worms on his shed in the water after i had taken him out. so far i have Quarantined him and bleached everything that came in contact with him or any of my other frogs. Ive done research so far and found that Ivermectin can help but it is hard to find in canada. Please help me out as this is the first time this has happened to me

    I am no vet, but I think you should attempt to find an exotic pet veterinarian, I'm not sure if they're easy to find in Canada though. You could also wait for a more knowledgeable member to see this thread

    I'd definitely go to a vet but i just don't have the $ right now. Ive contacted some other people in the herp
    community as well. So far he seems to be doing fine but all i can do right now is wishful thinking. ill keep posted.

    So far so good, he's eating well and appears to gained back weight. Very odd. There was an episode earlier when he was in quarantine when i thought he had red leg. I was preparing to have to deal with another pacman death. Once time had passed, he appeared to recover and now i think that he was just stressed. The nematodes are gone and everything seems to be going smoothly now
