Re: non eating swollen cobalt tinc
I do know vets that have used the suspension made for humans to treat reptiles and amphibians. The suspension is easier to use to treat the frogs as it can be tube fed to the frogs, (which in larger species like tinctorius is fairly easy). The powder or crystal form is harder to use as it won't dissolve in water. You can get a compounding pharmacy to make up the suspension for treatment (over here you need a prescription, I don't know about your laws on it).
If you are going to use the ARS, don't expect to see dramatic improvements over night and you will get better results if the frog is kept on it 24 hours a day (dampen brown paper towels with it in a enclosure) as opposed to just a soak in it.
Hope that with the other advice helps.
