Hi all. My White’s is getting worse. Here are some things about her.

- already in contact with a vet
- 5 months old
- being treated for intestinal parasites (treatment with ivermectin)
- attempting to eat but spits out food
- occasionally will eat wax worms
- 20gal quarantine enclosure

She has started having cream looking diarrhea. She’s already been having loose stools, but now it is so severe. She won’t eat much of anything. I gave her a waxworm with a cricket tonight and she ate it, then 45 min later had this watery creamy diarrhea.

Is it time to mentally prepare myself to say goodbye soon?..

Hi all, my juvenile White’s isn’t eating. It’s not like she has no appetite, instead she strikes the food and spits it out immediately. They are small crickets and small dubia roaches. I have tried calcium powder, and ive tried the food completely plain and without fail, she attacks the food then spits it out. She sticks her tongue out and backs up to spit it out. The only thing she reliably eats is waxworms, which I’m well aware is not the best choice for her nutrition wise. She ate a few silkworms the other night, but last night she didn’t want to eat them whatsoever.

I visited the vet with her and they took a fecal sample, waiting on results of that. The vet did say she most likely has intestinal parasites, since it’s common for babies and sent us home with ivermectin. My older frog also had parasites when he was young, but he’s always had a very strong appetite so im at a bit of a loss for what to do. Does anyone have any ideas for how to stimulate her appetite and get her to keep the food down?

I have two other frogs already both of which are doing great. Sadly my new girl is the one losing weight and not eating. I am at my wits end. I am willing to try anything.

Pic for attention and reach.
