    Default Re: Sick Dumpy | Red veins, bloated, won't eat

    I would skip the force feeding, it appears to have decent body weight so the stress of force feeding is likely to be more harmful than missing a few meals. I would definitely keep up with the baytril, it is a powerful broad spectrum antibiotic that is your best bet at clearing up bacterial infections. I have used baytril twice daily with good results in the past, but without knowing the dilution your vet prepared I am hesitant to recommend any change there.

    Reducing stress is very important during illness, in addition to cessation of force feeding I would also keep the tank lights off, cover at least three sides with dark paper, and avoid unnecessary interactions with the frog.
