Stephanie, how long did you leave your frog in the water with 1/2 teaspoon Epson salt?
Sorry to hear Piglet is still bloated. Is she still getting M2? I put 1/4 tsp epsom salt in Taco's QT for about 3 days and there was no improvement and then increased to 1/2 tsp and she was substantially smaller 2 days later and back to normal about 3-4 days after that, so with 1/2 tsp it was about a week before she was totally better and the whole time she was also given M2. Also, right before increasing to 1/2 tsp, I gave her a little bit of a shelled pea. If she is eating, it may not hurt to try that as well. As Mac mentioned, I made sure the aeration was good to dissolve the epsom salt and increase oxygen. I did 50% w/c's every few days as well. Hopefully you will see improvement using epsom salt and pedialyte within a couple days. Of course I think you and Mac are the best judges to decide when its time to aspirate and I am in no way trying to contradict Mac's advice but IMHO if Piglet is not getting worse at this point, I'd wait 3-4 days and then if there is no improvement aspirate. I just think 2 days may not be enough time to see if the epsom salt helps.HTH, S-
