My one whites has twitching toepads and is very stiff and partlial paralysis is setting in. I have some T-rex Bone Aid Liquid Calcium. How much, how often.

Please help.

Thanks,

Steve

I am not fimiliar with that product, but I will say that if he is that far already, I don't believe you are going to be able to do anything for him. Take him to a vet. That is best chance.
Can you also give us some more info? Like set up, your cleaning procedures, feeding, temps, humidity.....etc. ?
Let us know how he does, and good luck.

It's alright if you give your from a little less calcium as long as you give them some...but it seemed that you didn't give them at all, didn't you from you're own conclusion? How often, if you dust the food with calcium, did you dust the food for him.

Foolish of me perhaps, but the cricket diet had calcium in as their water gel. I was not dusting the crickets at all as I thought I had the calcium issue covered. I have given the frog 3 drops of T-Rex Bone Aid last night and one drop this morning. He is now upright and alert. I must of caught it just in time.

Thanks,

Steve

I am also not familiar with that product but would be suspecious of symptoms sounding so progressed disappearing completely that quickly. I'd keep a very close eye on him and be aware that too much calcium is just as bad as not enough so don't overdo it. If the problem is resolved, for future purposes, dust the crix for one feeding a week for adult crix and every 5 days for juveniles. Hope this helps a bit and best of luck with him please keep us posted.
