They're going to have to put him down...

Well the important thing is that you went out of your way to save the frog. No one here could ask for more than that. Thank you for trying.

So sorry to hear this. You did so much more than the majority of people would have done, thank you! You obviously have a big heart, thanks for doing the right thing!

I'm sorry you couldn't save him . You did such a great job! Maybe you could get a healthy frog? You certainly have shown you are responsible and willing to put forth the effort of caring for one.

I give you a lot of credit for doing so much for him!!!

Awww, that's so sad! I'm so sorry. The poor guy... but you did a great job and did everything you possibly could for him. At least he won't be in pain anymore.

I applaud you for being so caring and trying to save the living creature, it is so rare to have that quality especially in younger people ( you said you're too young to drive) you should be very proud of yourself and your parents should be extremely happy for having such a responsible daughter/son. You did so much for him, while so many people would just walk away. even in this forum there are so many threads of people asking for advice, but not willing to go to the vet and making million excuses not to help their own frog.

THANK YOU!

So sorry to hear that but like everyone said here, you did an amazing job with him! I think you'd be a wonderful phib owner (now or in the future.)

You guys are too nice...:') He's in a better place now, I'm sure he was in a lot of pain with that leg. I buried him in the forest next to the local park pond, and made him a grave marker.

That is adorable & very thoughtful. He's definitely living it up now in a better place

I haven't been on for a while and came across this post, it was an amazing thing you did. We need more people in the world like you
So sorry for the loss of him, but at least he was loved

I'm sorry to hear he didn't make it, but your dedication really shows your true nature. Respect for amphibians is all too rare these days--many people make fun of me for taking my frogs to the vet because they view them as expendable and easily replaced. Good job doing everything you could to help him. Sometimes they are too far gone, and it's sad to let them go, but if you get a frog of your own in the future, I think he or she will have a great frog caretaker. These little creatures are just so awesome.

I know this is an old post, but I simply had to comment.

Yugo. I've never met someone as caring and compassionate as you. You never gave up, never lost hope, and wanted only the best for the frog. Even though it was a frog you just found, you cared for it as you would care for a child. You sheltered it when many others would have left it to die.

I can't think of any words to describe how much of a hero you are.
