Medication and Single Quarantine Tank?

[Lija]

I'm a bit confused... What are you treating they from?

But yes, you can feed then while treating, in fact you should feed them! And supplement food too. They will need all nutrients they can get to fight with whatever is happening.

and yes you should keep them separately for the duration of treatment and follow proper qt procedures. Once fecals are clean after the treatment you can move them to their permanent home. Keeping separately is needed so you can monitor each separately and test each separately too. It is possible they are not going to respond to treatment the same and one or more will need follow up treatment.

Sorry, I forget that not everyone sees all posts, lol... Got my frogs from Petco- 2 of them on Oct 1 and 2 of them on Oct 9. Honey-Lime is the first one to start having runny stools, the others eventually followed suit, so I had a fecal test done and it come back positive for coccidiosis. I just got the medication in and the vet wants me to give it to them orally, once a week for three weeks. I have to figure out the best way TO get it into them. One way is with a blunt tipped needle, but I don't have any, haven't been able to find them locally, and will have to order them... which will take more time. So the vet said that if I can inject the med into a wax worm and get them to eat it that it will be a less stressful way to medicate them. I just have to figure out if I can get that stuff into the worm, and if not what an alternate way of medicating them will be. (They are being fed gut loaded cricets daily, btw, dusted with Reptocal with Calcium, D3, and Vit A once a week).

I got to be thinking that with Shirley having the additional problem of a head tilt (unknown how she got that, suspect injury, but...?) and Honey not gaining weight or seeming to grow much, that they should stay in their 5 gal. Jelly Bean and sHEila (who turned out to be a boy) are growing, and active, and even though they were in the same tank at Petco, and have some loose poop, I'm worried about them becoming too restless in the 5 gallon and starting to injure themselves. The 10 gallon would still be a quarantine tank, just a bigger quarantine tank. Should I still keep them in their own 5 gal they're in UNLESS they start to hurt themselves? I don't want to have to treat nose rubs or cuts on top of the other
