Chytrid
conf 2004
What
should a keeper do then?
êEssential supplies
for treating chytrid are: betadine,
Rapid White-spot Remedy (for fish), a fan-type heater,
disposable gloves, an accurate thermometer (preferably
mercury), and a small room which is easy to
heat
8First
part of treatment: Heating process
êSuspect frogs can be
placed in the small room with the heater
running - the temp should be kept at 35 degrees
for four hours, then return to ambient temp; a
daily four hour heat treatment can be used until the
brownish sloughing clears and frog stops
excessive soaking in the water bowl
êIf the majority of
captive frogs are affected, heat the frog room(s)
instead so all are treated simultaneously
