    Default Re: I need some serious help with my whites!

    Just to follow up from Kurt, I've found that the Lamisil Spray AT (available at most local pharmacy's) is easier to use! We, personally, had a hard time getting the lotion form it to "dissolve" prior to use, so it helps significantly to have it in the liquid form.

    We've done ten sprays per 200ml of "frog safe" water.

    To give you some additional info about our personal Chytrid treatment: we have both frogs currently in quarantine (5 gallon plastic tank), lined with dampened paper towels, a "sitting pond," and somewhere to hide. When one frog is in his bath treatment, we dispose of the towels, and sterilize the quarantine tank/decorations with boiling water. That way, once the bath is done, they are entering a sterilized environment.

    Also, when treating with the lamisil bath, make sure the frog is completely covered. We use a small sterilized syringe to lightly "splash" the exposed area of skin that is not covered by the water level.

    OH, and an important lesson: we were doing this normal "quarantine process" and our new little guy got his first "splotch." (No more since then thank god, and we're treating him just in case!) The only thing that we could imagine (given the lengths of sterilization, latex glove switches, etc.) was that he had somehow been cross-contaminated by uneaten crickets that had been placed in Igby's cage, not eaten, and then placed in Quibble's cage.

    Now, unfortunately, if we place a cricket in either cage...and it is uneaten (before the treatment is complete),...we're "disposing" of them. Makes me sad but I'd much rather be safe about it, than think there are other frogs out there that might run into an exposed cricket.
