So I adopted a Female WTF...

Ok first you will need a fresh fecal sample and it can't be in or from water. The drugs used to treat this condition are not OTC, so you have to go to the vet. They are administered orally.

While this statement is largely true, and all but the most experienced frog keeper needs to visit the vet anyhow to get the drugs administered, all of the drugs in question are available legally without prescription if you know what you're looking for. As soon as Kurt writes his "howto", I'll add to it with details of what I mean. However, 99% of hobbyists do not have the knowledge, skill and experience to medicate their own frogs and administer the treatments.

And I only know what I know from keeping all the frogs I do and from working closely with my vet, who I am going to ask to help me with this project.

I wasn't about to self-treat, just curious about the process/time/cost etc.

I wasn't singling you out - I was simply putting a clear warning on what I was saying.

A week and a couple days and she's doing great. She started pooping regularly and eats like a pig! I see less and less of her bones everyday plus she's become an awesome vibrant green color. She's less nervous but still very cautious. If she is out, she will not take her eyes off of you and if you sit on the floor, she'll jump on your head.


Dumper is good too. He's really chubbin up so he's on a strict 2 crickets a night diet (he always wants more) his eyebrows are getting very puffy so I thought I would start now before he turned into a big gooey WTF.

I know they are not social, but Dumper can see her across the room and he paces back and forth in his tank when she's out with me. Maybe she looks like food to him or maybe he's jealous? I know, human emotions... but I do wonder what they think about.

She is gorgeous Chris! Glad to see she is doing so well-not that anyone had any doubts.
