I beleive the sores are from a rouge cricket I missed after feeding one night. He has a little bit of swelling on his back leg. Is there anything I can do to get him to heal up? I thought there is like this antibiotic that you can soak him in. Some kind of fish medicine???? Please help I have had this guy for over two years and he’s my first Pacman. Thanks Clay |

Do you have mela fix?... If not get some... I will post its usage.... Its worth a try... You can also get silver sulfadiazine cream sold in pharmacy for people for burns... This is safe for frogs and helps heal. The wound should be cleaned with the mela fix first then cream placed. You can use the mela fix as a dip if you think he could be ill (not eating)... If you think no infection is present you can dab it on (still diluted).. then put the cream.. HOPPY Mela Fix instructions..... This is the instructions for using Mela fix....It can be purchased at any /fish/pet shop in the fish supply section and some walmarts..... Its also available on line... Please only use this once talking to other experienced keepers.....Its not a cure all... Its an antibacterial and works as a natural antibiotic and anti-fungul... It does help with some parasites but not all.. If things are caught early it can do wonders.... Mela Fix use instructions Mela - fix Its an all natural medicine (made with tee tree oil). You use it at 1/2 the dosage on the bottle (that goes for any meds for the frogs that are meant for fish). It�s very strong. 1) I measured 4 ounzes of de-chlorinated/treated water. 2) I warmed it in the microwave for 15 sec., just to barely warm it. (use a ceramic dish) 3) Then I took a toothpik and dipped it in the mela-fix twice and stirred the water. You should just be able to smell it in the water. 4) Then I got my frog and made him sit in for only 1 minute. 5) Then hold him to dry and place back in his tank. Repeat this for 7 days. This can be repeated only after a 2 week break in between. Also if frog is small tip some water away after adding Mela Fix... They should be able to sit comfortably.. The frog should be dipped when quiet and at the same time each day or close to....The less stress the better... But please print off for your files. |
