Our White's Tree Frog is sick and we don't know how to help him!?

Well good news. Got his medications ordered that Dr. Frye recommended. They will be here tomorrow. I just took the hit on my bank account because I love my little frog so much. He deserves a fighting chance. In the mean time, I gave him some Reptaboost since he still hasn't eaten anything and have been giving him the pedialyte and honey baths, which purk him up a bit then he goes back to sleep. The humidity in his hospital tank has been sitting at 60% humidity with a temperature of 70. We are trying to keep the humidity down so as not to aggravate the lung infection anymore than it already is. This has definitely been a huge learning experience for me and now I know that high humidity is what caused all of this in the first place. I thought that he needed a higher humidity since we live in a climate where average humidity is around 20%. Thank you all very much for you help through all of this. I am so glad I came across this forum. It has been the best forum I have ever been a part of already since I joined Sunday night. You all are the best. :-)

glad to hear the little one is doing well. as i was reading this, i saw the spring water from the faucet mentioned, and then i saw Nevada. my first thought was hard water from the canyon area, but then you mentioned mountain town. so glad you got in touch with Dr. Frye, he is the best although, i am still wondering about the 3 metal bars in the enclosure?? metal is an unbelievable breeding ground for all types of bacteria. i definitely would not put those back in.

you definitely had the best of the best in here helping you. Lynn is awesome and Heather is ehhh....she's Heather....LOL really, i learned a LOT from these 2 ladies. get to know them well. they are a valuable resource of info
