They must actively counter osmotic pressure to maintain proper osmolarity and this requires energy. Soaking a sick or weakened frog in isotonic Ringer’s solution enables them to spend their energy instead on getting well. Bloat results from a failure to osmoregulate, and ringer solution is thus an effective treatment for bloat. Conversely, it is used to rehydrate frogs (eg: escapees!). Soak frog in solution for 1-3 hrs and repeat as needed. Solution is stable indefinitely at room temp if kept sterile. Discard if particulates or growth is evident.</span></p>
