    Default Found Frog Without Leg

    I recently found a Grey Tree Frog that had a leg missing. It had been cut off or had been eaten off by a predator. Anyway, it is in my care now. Will it die due to the loss of a limb, or grow it back? Should I put it out of it's misery?

    I would keep it and nourish it, keep it in a tank with paper towel and
    water dish with branches and dechlorinated water. is it bleeding? dose it look infected?

    Hello,
    It is not bleeding, but some "meat" is hanging out. It does not look infected, no. Can I put some kind of antibacterial on it?

    Hi Brian, yes you can put original neosporin (without pain reliever) on the wound daily with a Qtip. He can live with 3 legs if he does not die of systemic infection.
