My frog's throat

[GrifTheGreat]

I've read that you can crush the salt into a powder and dust their food with the powder to treat intetinal infections. I'm not sure if it would work for an oral infection though. An antibiotic from a vet might be the best bet.

Do you think a regular vet could help? There are no vets that work on frogs anywhere near me. I think a Baytril shot like they gave to Grif would really help him but you can't get them without a scrip.

You could call a regular vet and ask if they would administer a Baytril shot to your frog. It doesn't hurt to ask. If there are any that treat reptiles near you they would probably administer one and know the amount to animal weight ratio also. There is a frog first aid article on this forum that has. Alist of items and meds to keep on hand and baytril is one of them. It can't be kept on hand if you can only get it from a vet. So I'm assuming that the name in () is probably the over the counter form and it says to put it in water. You should look at the article and also try the vet. I would consult a vet first before trying to self treat Rupert.
