    Don't be surprised about that, it's a blessing to have a local vet that knows lot's about frogs. Only thing local available for me is fecal exams . I would do the Melafix; it's a naturally occurring organic compound and very mild when used as directed.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    she should check VIN if she is a member
    then yeah, go with melafix, and there is also another one in the same fish section, also in bottles, looks like melafix, but is used for bacterial fish diseases, can't remember name now, you can alternate those 2 to cover all basis. how the toad is feeling now?

    You mean Pimafix? It's primarily used against "fungus" but also has effect against internal bacteria and can be used together with Melafix.

    yeah i think that one , don't remember, never used anything other then melafix from fish section.
    i think there were 3 different bottles, melafix, pimafix and another ...fix whatever works for bacteria would be useful here.

    Okay, I will go pick up the Melafix or Pimafix Over the weekend. I started putting plain yogurt on her worms this morning for calcium. it seemed to make her more active as well. You guys were a big help! Thanks so much! I will tell you how her lip heals up after I pick up the Melfix, or Pimafix.

    Default hurt frog in wild

    Hi ribit,

    Such a nice thing you're doing to help this little guy.

    Just wanted to add that it would be wise to remove the gravel/small rocks and use either paper towels changed daily or coconut fiber (not husk). I think I'd use paper towels until his wounds are healed.

    I have never used OTC fish treatments for my frogs, so I am of no assistance there. I go through Dr.Frye also and have used SSD cream and systemic antibiotic drops.

    Welcome to the forum and thank you for helping this little fella.

    Ahhhh! I just checked on her, and she had her first poop. Her poop was Not normal! It was not like normal toad poop that they leave on your door step. It was just one dead, wet, shriveled up worm! Why is she not digesting her food??? She was doing so well.

    sounds good that she pooped, the q are you sure that was a poop? i mean have you seen her go? because what you're describing sounds more like regurgitated worm. how she is doing in general? her wounds? is she trying to eat anything?

    Another thing you might want to add to the tank is a place for the toad to hide under.
    That will lessen the stress on the toad.

    Being sort of grose, I picked the worm off of her rear end. So, it had to of been poop. Her wounds are good. I still have to hand feed her. She has free rang crickets in her cage, that she could eat. I counted 3 crickets when I put them in there, and i didn`t feed her for 2 days to see if she would eat on her own. She didn`t though. So I am still hand feeding her. She has a little cocunut hut in there for her to sit under too.
