Im rezurrecting an old topic (sorry). But I wanted to note that there has been strides to fight chytrid in aquatic frogs with Lamisil AT (athleats foot spray). It is easier to obtain than the previous treatment of BC.

You just get the spray and do 10 squirts per 200mL of water (dechlorinated). Put the frog in the bath for 5 min. Do this every day for 10 days and then quarenteen for another 2 weeks to watch for other illness.

If you do this with every frog you get you can avoid contaminating your tanks and aquarium instraments.

Here is the link: http://www.flippersandfins.net/Lamisil.htm

Please, you should quarenteen anyway, but frogs for sure! If you do this you could save your new frog and any future frogs you would want to get!

Hi Kupcake,
The link in the first post to the Lamisil bath is from Mac of Flippersandfins and attached to this sticky with his permission.
It goes into quite a bit of detail. I imgaine it's the same treatment you linked to.

Nah, not today. lol

With so many more people getting into ADF's lately it was probably good thing to bump this up.
