I just took my FBT to a zoo specialist in the area, who tells me spinning is a classic sign of neurological damage. He thinks it is a parasite or a virus, and mentioned lungworms and irido virus. I was given two different treatments, levamisole and metronidazole, to use in a water bath for the toad to soak in. These things spread via infected feces, and so keeping your tank scrupulously clean is essential, but he even admitted that when animals are kept in tanks it is almost impossible to keep stuff from spreading. He recommended not introducing new animals to the tank as well, to quarantine them first. I will be treating all my toads, even the ones who are not spinning, so I can be sure that whatever this is, it is gone.
