Vet visit: anyhow the vet says Julep has one of the worst cases of nematodes he's seen. He sent me back with a low dose of Panacur, so I get to experience giving a frog medicine by mouth. Anyone have tips on this???
I also may need to strip the tank and replace the substrate.
I'm wondering how he got them at all. The larger frog had a lot of protozoa, but not nematodes. Did one of the frogs come with nematodes? Did the pet store crickets have nematodes? What about my roach colony? Did the magnolia leaves I boiled and roasted for the tank still have eggs?
I'm not feeling great right now. I would hate to strip the whole tank only to have the feeders continue to contribute worms. I'm not happy that the medicine will probably stress the little frog out more and make him less likely to eat. At least I got him checked out before he lost a significant amount of weight.
Also, even though the big frog seems healthy I'll need to get him checked out too.
