A positive progression...

I felt it was necessary to post an update on the status of the toads because I last updated you guys with not so good news. This time I have good news. All four toads are doing better right now.

Ace was the most concerning toad, but she has started eating and now she doesn't want to stop! She gained 14 grams since the last update. I am keeping a close eye on her and I'm thrilled she's responded to the medication. She has one more round to go which was due today, but I decided to hold off because she had a tough time with it the first go around. Hopefully spacing it out will let her add more weight and she can recover more internally. I am very excited to see her trending upward. She is the most voracious toad currently.

Pious got the second round of the dewormer. He may be dewormed faster then Ace. He responded well to the first round and he's been eating well so I figured he's in good shape for round two. He is still doing great and I love his prissy attitude and behavior. He makes angry faces when he wants fed and he will face me to make sure I know. He also will make small distress calls when he's hungry and I found this out one day by watching him on the camera. He was just sitting around and I got the crickets out to feed the gray tree frogs and he came up to the front of the tank, put his front leg up touching the glass and started making the distress call. Then when I came over he stopped and just looked at me. What a funny toad!

Wellsboro is still awaiting the hopefully last fecal test coming probably late March or so. If he is still negative he's the first toad healthy for the longest time. In April he could be 6 months parasite free! He is slow from the winter so he only eats a couple items every so often, but he's still gaining weight. Not too much to report on for Wellsboro because last update was his moment to shine. Hopefully he has another one being proven to be clean and free of the parasites.

Navi has swollen up and decreased in swelling. It's looking like a rollercoaster ride. The vet visit is Tuesday so she will be patiently awaiting that. We will be doing some testing for her to see why she is swollen. Hopefully we get some answers and we stop completely the swelling. A poop sample would be nice too!

All four toads have made progress since the last report and I'm hoping to keep the momentum going.
