I usually use an 8 oz deli cup and lid for treatment, I fill it halfway, put the frog in, and gently tilt it around so that the solution runs over the entire frog, then let them sit in it.
After an exchange with Corey and Fernando Licitra, here's what Corey had to say about the frog having to be submerged completely:

"My understanding was that it would get into the areas where the heaviest infestation of Chytrid would be (stomach/legs/areas that come in contact with the ground) and that some of these areas are where they absorb water from (drinking pads at the base of the legs/stomach), which would be how the drug got into the bloodstream and spread to the rest of the body - Chytrid is a systemic infection not just a topical one."

Fernando (Minhocao on this forum) is the one who his Phyllomedusa sauvagii lost an eye.

Any thoughts?
