    for frogs, as they are way more fragile and sensitive to everything it is always better to use "clean" product from vet and proper dosage.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Hi Devonte! Sargeant's website has 3 products (1 liquid, 1 capsules, 1 chewable) for roundworms in dog section and not one includes the active ingredient in description. If it's Panacur in same dosage as other products and there are no other differing active ingredients, my thought would be it's OK.

    That isn't Panacur (Fenbendazole) and I would not use it! You can find the granules at any Petsmart store ( Safe-Guard 4 Canine Dewormers - Health & Wellness - Dog - PetSmart ) or online at Amazon. That is the stuff I use with my fish and frogs (read post above). If taking Locascio's nice offer, make sure you follow his direction since Vet products can be more concentrated that over the counter stuff. Good luck !

    I'm trying right now very hard not to say anything I will regret........ I'd say polite way - please don't experiment with a frog, not now, not ever!

    go to a vet, any vet, and ask for panacur, every single vet in a city would have it. it is used very widely in every practice for every single animal, just different dosage. Or email Dr. Frye and get exactly what you need for your frog instead of ordering from amazon or elsewhere. I believe his clinic ships anywhere in US to be delivered in a matter of days.

    Hi Lija! Tried to find Dr. Frye webpage or email and both forum searches or Google searches turned negative. Do you have a website address or can provide his full business email? Also, what is the dosage in the veterinary products you refer to? Is that the same for liquid version Locascio refered to in his earlier post or do Vet's also have the granular form and in what strength/dosage? Thank you !

    These frogs are like our children, when you take on an exotic pet you take on the responsibility to care for it and give it an environment that is natural and comfortable as well as the responsibility to take care of it in case it becomes ill. I am glad to see the majority of the people here living by this sort of code. I am also even happier to see people willing to help out other members. Sorry just needed to say that. also do you recommend getting frogs fecal samples tested once in Awhile?

    you really cant be playing around with this stuff. wear talking about useing poison to treat an animal its not to be takein lighty. you cant just use anything yoou get from the store thats ment for dogs and expect it to do the same for your frogs i think its playing with fire and your frogs are the ones that will get burnt
