I don't know if you can buy empty tiny seringes. I got mine from my vet. I do know that there is one that comes in the reptile first aid supplement that you can buy. Maybe your pet store sells it. Its made by Flukers and its called Repta-Aid critical care formula. Insectavore/carnivore emergency aid. This supplement comes with a mixing/measuring cup small seinge and a spoon. It will also help Rupert since its made for sick and malnurished reptiles and frogs. It is like $10.00 for the little kit but its worth it to save your little guy. Plus you can use the seringe to administer his vitamins and canned food. I know the stuff isn't cheap, but you may only have to buy it once. Rupert won't go through the whole can of that food. If it brings him back I think its worth it. I hope everything works out. I wish it was easier.

Yeah I think that is what I saw. I don't have the money for it now but I should within a week or two and I'll get it. Until then I will try using the eye dropper or dubias. Also, Ruperts throat seems very saggy/puffy. I've seen it not like that too but lately it's always swelled up.

Do you mean he has lost weight around his throat and he puffs it up or does it look irritated? They can puff up their throat andthey can put on weight there too. Grifs changes. If he gets grumpy hell puff up his belly and neck. I hope he doesn't have an infection. Did you say the vet you were going to take him to doesn't treat frogs? I remember you were going to try and find out.

Well I looked at some pictures of pacman frogs and it looks normal, It seems most of the albinos have a fuller throat or something. Here is the product you were talking about: Repta-Aid Critical Care Formula from Fluker's&reg - Supplements & Medications - Reptile - PetSmart This is what I saw also, I hope it will work

[GrifTheGreat]

Yes that's it. It couldn't hurt. If anything else you can also use the seringe it comes with to administer his calcium and vitamins. Plus the cat/dog food. He will need the cat/dog food to help put some weight on him and to allow the supplements to distribute into his body. Hell probably like the cat/dog food too.

Tonight we fed Rupert 3 small dubias. He seems to want to eat, he chomps at them when they are in his mouth and moves his little hands. He seems to be eating them easier, we don't have to help him get it down his mouth. We can get his mouth open easier now so that is good Since his last poo he has had half a nightcrawler, a medium dubia and three small ones. I've tried to dust them as well but we have to feed him by hand so I'm not sure how much is getting rubbed off. My crested gecko has been eating like CRAZY! I wish Rupert could catch his appetite. I'm out of crickets almost too since my gecko's been eating 2 or 3 a night. Just thought I'd share an update, thanks for all your help

Oh do you have any recent pics of Grif?

I'm so glad that Rupert ate. Maybe you won't have to buy that stuff after all. As long as he eats what you give him he will probably recover just fine. I have some recent pics but haven't had time to put them on.
