Medication and Single Quarantine Tank?

[irThumper]

Here's what he sent me for dosing the frogs: Flagyl Suspension 25 mg/ml - Give 0.04 cc per 10 grams body wt once weekly for three weeks; he recommended orally using the injected wax worms. Here is what he listed per frog:

Jelly Bean, 5 g wt: 0.02 ml
Sheila, 9 g wt: 0.04 ml
Honey-Lime, 7 g wt: 0.03 ml
Shirley, 11 g wt: 0.04 ml

Fecal test was $23
Med $17
3 1.0 ml syringes $1.50
Postage $6.50

(Just found Dr. Frye's email on this post http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...-prepared.html Hope it's still current?)

How do I read the syringe to tell what is 0.02 (etc)...??? I'll have to take a pic of the syringe and post it...

That is correct. You also need to completely desinfect qt tanks every day and absolutely everything in them and change gloves in between tanks.

0.02ml is exactly that 0.02 ml (metric system lol) you need insuline syringe, that tiny skinny 1ml one, stub the cup on a bottle if your meds, turn it upside down and get required amount in a syringe.

Oog. I've been using gloves, and changing them between tanks, but I've been doing regular cleaning and not a complete disinfect! I'm going to take the live plant out of Shirley and Honey's tank and give them silk plants like Jelly and sHEila have, much easier to disinfect! I'm also going to switch from porous teracotta pots to glazed ceramic ones for the same reason.

Here's a vid I took of everyone today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNC2...ature=youtu.be

Here's pics of the syringe. I've never dosed anything so small! Sorry for my ignorance (I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree when it comes to math and measurement stuff) but the syringe is marked from 0.1 to 1.0... where is 0.02 and so on-- is that 0.2 on the syringe or the small lines before 0.1...? Totally embarrassing, but ask it not know it not! Those WOULD be the small lines, right? Handy calculator and 0.01 x 10= 0.1, so yeah :P
