I went to petco today to purchase some feeders for my snakes. (that is about all i buy there). THis is the petco i used to work at, so one of my past co workers (he is a really good guy and hates the place about as much as i did when i worked there) was telling me about the idiocy of the associates that work there. I guess that a few days back he had lost almost and entire shippment of GTfrogs and half of the whites they had there becase someone didnt read the spray bottles and decided to spray them down with cleaning chemicals. SO, as we were looking through the frogs, i found one that was still alive, but not looking well. So my friend let me take him home. So her ei am now with a whites that has the follwing symptome:

he has no coordination, he moves in circles
his eyes are dialated quite large
he seems weak but not hopeless.

i understand that these symptoms are synnonimous with pin worms, but in seeing the others in the enclosure (and knowing that they come from sandfire farms) i am assuuming that it is brain dammage due to teh chems.

Presently, i have the poor bugger in a small round encloseure with a small waterdish and a dish of frogmoss. The substrate is paper towel for now.

I have soaked him in a water solution with reptisafe aqua conditioner, stress coat, and some activated carbon.

I am going to heat up his enclosure a bit to simmulate a bit of a fever. This helps with other reptiles too.

When i worked at petco this happened before, and the vet said there wasnt much they could do.

If you have ANY info or tips, please please help. I want to save this little one. Thank you!
