I think my WTF may be sick..

You better call if you need to double check anything ( dosage, etc) lemme know. Basically all you want from vet is fecal and meds - that is in case they dont treat frogs.

They're not open today, they open at 8am tomorrow though. I am going to call then. Well actually their website says they're open 4pm to 9pm on Tuesdays? I can try calling after work.

I ran home on lunch. I can't even find the poor guy.. I think he dug himself in to the substrate. I didn't have time to tear apart the tank on my lunch to find him.. going to check tonight, ugh..

Hey, just dont panic, all will be just fine, including frogs. Tomorrow early or after 4 doesnt make any difference. When you call you can ask them to get tests done and get you meds. That's it. What you need to do is to find their poop, put in small ziplocs ( each frog poop separately) and bring it in. Most protozoa found in frogs are commensal and are hard to distinguish in one sample. I know not many vets know how to do so, even experienced with reptiles ones, but if the poop is runny and stinky, frog is eating but is skinny, it is 99,99% guarantee a frog has either pathogenic protozoa or very small threshold resisting nonpathogenic protozoa. You will be prescribed with metronidazole ( flagyl) or ivermectin, both have neurologic side effects, so dosage be better correct.

Sorry about my ignorance here but is flagyl taken orally or would the frog soak in this? Would Methalyne Blue help here with protozoan infections? Curious because as a fish keeper, I do have this on hand.
