It is VERY contagious... get those frogs out of your frogrom.... they should also have their own feeding cup or feeding bag, and you should get a mister from the dollar store for use in their rubbermaids.
Tetracyline... when I dealt with redleg... it was from some Xenopus laevis that Ibought at a fish auction. They were already inflicted when I purchased them... as their legs went red within hours of getting them home. I used teracycline... but I did not give it orally. Instead, I dissolved the powdery contents of a tertracycline tablet in water.... and gave the frogs tetracycline baths. The problem is that this is not a strong enough treatment regimen from my experience. They should actually be treated with metronidazole, and IM Baytril injections. I can't remember the concentrations of the drugs or the amounts..but I will look it up and get back to you. Do a search on the web... and you may find something.
Keep us posted with the progress.
I will try to get back to you asap.
