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.

I checked on him this morning and he was BRIGHT green all over and climbing! I even noticed some little poop on the bottom. I thought i'd try to feed him tonight because he was doing sooo much better. I just went to feed him and he was cold DEAD! My little girl keeps asking me where her sick froggie is...

I am sorry to hear... It's sometimes suprising how these little frogs can capture our hearts and when they suddenly leave us, it can be hard, especially for kids. I hope your other frog is doing okay and hugs to your litle girl.

we just fed him and gave him the antifungal bath. He climbs all over her! how can he be so healthy when he was the small skinny sickly looking one when we got them?

[IgbyKibbits]

First, I'm so sorry to hear about your (and your little girl's) loss. It really is heartbreaking when you've grown attached and I completely understand that loss, even when it's just a little frog!

I'm very glad to know your other little frog is doing okay. It is amazing the difference in "fight" from frog to frog. Our little Kibbits held on for two months (being the sickly one), and little Igby, who just two weeks ago was gobbling down anything in sight, seems to be going downhill fast.

It sounds like you are doing everything you can to ensure the health of the surviving frog, and I hope that in time you can find a nice companion to join him/her!

Let your little girl know that there are a bunch of people that are remembering her little frog!

So sorry.

I have a little girl too and she is very attatched to our frogs. It would be very difficult to explain the loss. Our prayers are with you.
