    Thank you Lindsey, and everyone for the encouragement and knowledge. Red marks on his underside are almost gone today, and the marks on top are looking better for sure. Gave him some drops of pedialyte and continue to use ssd cream. I still don't have any baytril. He still looks really thin, his two bones on his back look like they are going to rip through his skin. I have a bowl feed set up as well as some crickets running around. I dusted them all. He did not touch the ones I put in there yesterday and still just sleeps. Tonight after I get back from a meeting I must attend I am going to drop some more pedialyte on him and hopefully it will stimulate him? I have been hearing the other one croak at night and in the morning. And he's eating. i cleaned poop on the glass so yay! now if we can get his buddy in the other room up and running that would be great. anyways thanks very much everyone. i will update as often as i can.

    Can Dr. Frye send you the baytril? If I remember correctly it's pretty potent stuff and must be mixed properly. I personally would only trust Dr. Frye or someone from his staff to mix it for me.
    The pedialyte drops will definitely help give him energy and that will in turn help him to hunt and eat! But if he gets too week, as mine did, you may need to try either force feeding or watching patiently with the lights off at night for him to shed and then discretely dropping a dusted cricket in his mouth when he is eating the shed skin... Of course I would wait until someone more experienced can walk you through the process of force feeding because it is pretty tricky and is very stressful on the frog. And we all know stress is not good.
    I would avoid handling him unless you have to get some ssd cream on his belly, so no soaks in a tub until he is a bit more perky - if at all. I only ever dropped the pedialyte solution on my red-eye's back and never attempted soaking as it is very stressful.
    Did I read correctly that he was shipped to you and he arrived only on Friday? If that's so, I would personally give him a little more time and just keep up with what you're doing.
    Poop is so exciting! Was it solid or loose? And this was the red-eye that appears healthy or the sick one?

    yeah i only handle him once a day right now just to get the cream on the spots on his belly. i actually purchased him from a large reptile distrbutor that happens to be close to where i live. so he wasn't shipped. they arranged for me to come pick them up. but they were packaged in the deli cups like most reptiles are when they are shipped. and yes that was on friday. it was the healthy looking one that made the poop. if by loose you mean wet than, now. it looked like a dried cricket. same as they look when my geckos poop. how is poop suppose to look for retf's? the sick one has not pooped. yes i am looking into getting some baytril from dr. frye, but wont it take time to ship?
