Still Sick Whites Tree Frog and frustrated!

WOW!
So could he be acting and starting to look kind of normal after one application??
I got a disposable tupperware dish w/ a lid (with holes) to put the frog (in the solution). I let him sit in it while I sterilized his tank. After 10 mins of soaking the skin on his back starting peeling right off! I was amazed! He is on antibiotics too, so it might be a combination of the 2, but I was very surprised!
I am throwing the tupperware dishes/lids in the dishwasher to sterilize them. That would work, don't you think??

It is very possible, removal of the dead layers of skin will allow the frog to breath more efficiently (a large portion of their oxygen intake is through the skin). The quick improvement is why I put the warning about continuing through the 10 day treatment even if the frog seems to be back to normal early on, he may look much better but the infection still needs to be 100% cured or he will relapse.

I will absolutely continue for the next 10 days! Thanks sooooo MUCH!!!

How is he doing? Still improving?

[ajfilbert]

He is doing better! Slowly! He is now fighting me over the antiboitcs I have to give him everyday and his sheding after the "baths" is getting better too! He still isn't eating his crickets, but started producing BM's yesterday.
Ill post a picture of his progress tomorrow! Thanks for asking!
