well the cream medication seems to be doing fine they've calmed down and its easyer to hold them the oral medication is driving me insane the vet told me to soak the criket in the medication and then feed it to the frogs right away but the stuff just rolls off there shells and they won;t eat:( hopefully when they get hungryer they will eat them but i have noticed the rednesss has gone down a bit so at least the creams helping.
