I know one drop is a little large, but not by much actually. 1/2 gallon: 1 drop melafix. His water dish is just under 1/2 a gallon. He does not have any open sores, which is really good! No I haven't been rinsing him afterwards. Why should I?
I know you guys are going to give me a lot of flack for saying this, but a vet is no help. Frogs are extremely complex creatures and not enough research or testing has been put into them for me to trust a vets advice. The only thing a vet can tell me is that Oliver for sure has red leg, and that's it. He only meds he would be given are Baytril or Panacur, which I can easily get myself, and save 200$.
Herpvet- you tell me a medication that has successfully treated redleg. To my knowledge, there is no cure for the time being. All I can do is trial and error, just like a vet would do.
Honestly you guys, there is no 'specific' medication or treatment for red leg. I've done hours of research, and all I can do is try different treatments and hope for the best. I'm quite aware that he is close to he end of his life. Wether i medicate or not, he could die. On a positive note, I may be picking up a male in the near future for my breeding plans, as Oliver is obviously in no shape for breeding this year.
Hope I didn't offend anyone, this is just how I see it.
