    Default Re: Is this bloat?

    Preventative is always better than cure" why would BOZO"s frog have bloat first place?

    The other Website gave no instructions , seriously m8t do not add any Salt to the main tank unless you wish to increase water hardeness PH above 7 until max 8, these guys like ph around 7.5, now if your PH waters already 7.5 and your adding salt continously it will stress the frogs.

    I do not believe at this point your frog has bloat(but even if he does small quantaties of salt will not cure! and what about the other guy),,,,,, IF he starts showing signs of ballooning like a Michelin man this is the time to act, the tried and proven method I will list below
    Am not shouting lol it was copied and pasted, reason most of my posts are this large was due to phone posting I could not see, but now am on laptops these days
    Also if bloat diagnosed you need to adminster Marcayln correct dosage

    The easiest way to treat the frog is to put him in a plastic container (like Rubbermaid) about 3 gallons in size. Put a gallon of conditioned water with about a half-teaspoon of epsom salts. Water temperature should be about 72 degrees. Dissolve the salt before putting the frog in. Don't put anything else in the container. Punch some small holes in the lid for ventilation. Leave the frog in the bath for 1 hour each day . Replace fresh water and salts each day. never leave frog unnatended if any signs of distress remove, the max treatment is 10 days! thats 1 hour each day for 10 days, do not treatmore @ this point , leave frog in MAIN tank and no more salts if condition does not improve seek immediate vetenary advice on Aspiration procedures which I previously posted if your vets unfamiliar

    The reason its 1 gallon in 3 gallon container is the frogs comfort, he should still be able to keep his head above water level as the salt levels for eye comfort, do not drown him in salt water
