Euthanasia and bedding questions?

[flybyferns]

Hi Peyton,
Like Robin, I am also wondering how is he acting ? , and is he eating ??

You may have read all of these suggestions?:
I just wanted to mention that it should be antibiotic ointment ( ie neosporin ) WITHOUT pain killer in it !!
Use a q-tip to apply - not your finger, hopefully while the frog is asleep if possible so the frog is disturbed as little as possible.
A 'great frog' keeper once told me " when a frog is handled it thinks only 2 things. ! 1) it going to be eaten , or 2) it going to be squished.

Same with the daily changing of the dampened paper towel. Use spring water or treated tap for wetting down the towel- make it really wet !
Keep him warm and feed him well every day! Make sure the crickets are not to big ( so he does not struggle) .
Remove uneaten crickets in the morning ---- re - gut load and feed again before lights out.
Don't mist with cold water.
Cover three sides of the quarantine tank, it will help him feel safer.
His injuries/ infection and stress have compromised his immune system. Keep him in a quiet , warm place as stress free as possible and he will have a better chance of healing.

Peyton, one of my red eyed tree frogs was a rescue. He was in quarantine for 6 months . He was badly scratched up and his eye was all yuckie. I soaked that little guy every day sometimes twice. I waited til he fell sound asleep ( on a pothos leaf), filled a small, very , very, very, clean saucer with warm spring water ( just set the dish under the light for a minute or so to warm the water) and slipped the saucer and the leaf with him on it into the clean warm water. As gently as possible so he does not wake up. If he wakes up- stop -and try again when he goes back to sleep. The good thing about using the pothos leaf is that you are handling the leaf not the frog! It just needs to be for 2 minutes or so. I did not use neosporin. I was afraid it would get into his eyes when he shed? Don't know , it's hard call to make.

Hopefully you will be able to find a vet to take a look at him ?

Hope he comes along !!! Let us know
