Sick wild tree frog?

[bron2]

G'day
Came across this tree frog on the ground yesterday - looks hunched up and emaciated, left water alongside it and then gently sprinkled it with water last night and early this am. It hasn't moved from this site and looks very ill. Is there anything I can do? I live on the gold coast Australia. Thanks

It looks like something has happened to its back too, but it's hard to be sure. If you're really concerned for it, I think you should take it to the local vet. If he/she is a decent human being, they won't charge you for treating a wild animal.

Thanks so much for the advice
When I tried to pick it up off the drain grid I realised that its throat was stuck in the drain grid and that's why it wasn't moving and had that hunched over look. Something very hard (insect?) was lodged in its throat which was well and truly stuck in the drain grid. I was scared of perforating its throat if I pushed hard on whatever was in its throat causing it to be jammed; so I took the tree frog on the drain grid in a bucket of water (frog was only partly immersed) and headed off to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital. The vet was able to free the frog within minutes (didn't see how this was done) and medication was given to the frog (part of of his throat looked very sore - he had clearly being trying to tug himself free). Do hope that he recovers and that he can come home again.
