Red Eyes are notorious for getting too close to hot lamps and lights and cooking themselves. If the Red Eye seems slightly better by day 5, wait a week and repeat the process. Be sure to induce fever only when you will be home to monitor the entire 8-hr fever process, and check on your frog at regular intervals looking for any signs of distress.
Any other suggestions to raise temp? unfortunately vet car payment and insurance come out of this super small check, so I will be completely wiped. Or do you suggest skipping the vet and trying this for 2 weeks?
