Whites tree frog hasn't recovered

[1Dumpy]

What is Dr.Fryes email again? Thanks.

[Heatheranne]

I would call Dr. Frye and let him know how weak he is, even before emailing. I think he may need intervention quick.
(734) 439-2273 Explain what he had and what he had been treated with and let him know how he looks and is behaving. Please call tomorrow am.

Very gently give him a clear pedialyte and lukewarm dechlorinated water shallow soak of one part pedialyte to 10 parts water. Soak him for 15 minutes. Be sure his face is not in the water, only his body... so he does not accidentally aspirate and choke. This will hydrate him a bit since he is not eating.

Crossing my fingers for your little one!

I will call today, but I still have to email him about his spots too so could I have his email. He is moving just not much.

[Heatheranne]

Had to look it up. Here you go

Hi guys, things aren't going well. He barley moves all day. HE is getting alot of mucus and not eatting. I force fed him 2 crickets this hole week. He is prob starving. WHat could this be, Dr.Frye never responded. I started the baytril again yesterday.

[Sarosaurus]

I would do as Heather suggested. CALL Dr. Frye first thing in the morning and speak with him over the phone. Most clinics are not open on the weekends, so that might be the case as to why he has not responded.

These tree frogs are nocturnal, so seeing him move during the day is going to be a rare thing. Mine don't move at all during the day unless I handle them. Have you tried the Pedialyte bath? Have you purchased the Repta+Boost and tried feeding it to him?

[Heatheranne]

Definitely do a pedialyte bath and I would either force feed him nightly or feed him reptaboost nightly until he starts eating on his own. He is going to need calcium. Be sure to dust his crickets or worm pieces. Reptaboost has calcium in it so you don't have to add any to the reptaboost.

Your baby really needs help. If you were close to where I am I'd take him in and help you out and give him back when he's better.

This is what you need to do...give him a pedi soak. Then gently force feed him a cricket or small worm piece with calcium with vita D3 on it or give him an oral dose of reptaboost. The instructions come with the box for dosing. He needs the nutrition and the ca/vita D or hes going to get weaker and weaker. Then in the morning, call the vet and tell him what all is happening. You can still pull him through this, but once he gets too weak to swallow any food or supplements, then it's very hard to recover them.

You can do this! We're here to help you . You definitely need vet assistance too.

Crossing my fingers for you!

I am force feeding him daily one cricket with that repti cal stuff you reccomended heather, any idea what is wrong with him?

[Heatheranne]

I am going to reread through the whole post to see if I am missing any details. Do you have any updated photos you can link for me?

Remember, I am not a vet, but I will try my best. Please also contact Dr. Frye. He is who has taught me the treatments for our sick frogs. I am just sharing what I know... He will know more and can write the prescriptions or further care treatments your frog may need. Please call him today. I am becoming more concerned for your frog. I was hoping he'd start feeling better soon.

I will get back to you this evening. I have to do some things at home and my mother has home therapy today. I will be busy until this evening. I will be back on later today though and will check on how things are going. I'm going to ask a friend to read through this again also and see if she has any more suggestions to help, also.

Ttys!

THank you, yes it's a strange situation. The Mucus has gone away, he had a day were he had alot now he didn't have much. This all started last sunday so it has been about a week he has had around 4 crickets this hole week. I am going to for some reason try mealworms tonight just to make sure he hasn't lost interest in crickets. I know he just hasn't and hes sick but sometimes he will eat mealworms instead of crickets. If not I will get my favorite card out and stick it in his mouth! Oh, what fun that is.

[Heatheranne]

Ooh! Don't do the mealworms...they can impact him. If you want you can try waxworms, but they're fatty and not very nutritious, it's ok for now though.

[Heatheranne]

I have reread your post. I don't think we've missed anything in conversation.

He seems to be getting weaker, now his jaw is becoming screwed up from the card and he won't eat. Any tricks, I am using baytril now will a warm soak help? Just keep force feeding? Thanks guys

What does his jaw look like? Is it getting soft? Like the jaw bone is weak?

Can you post a picture?
