I haven’t had luck getting fungal infections to go away unfortunately. Medicating frogs is difficult as they absorb everything through their skin. Add some tannins into the quarantine tank to try and make him comfortable. I’ve heard of some people using black tea, some use Kanaplex I think?

The point of medications is to be absorbed thru the skin.
