Toad is Sick

[Kurt]

Needs to see a vet ASAP. No one here will able to help your toad, but a competent vet will be able to, if it's not too late. Nuff said.

You just bought it?!? Why would you buy an animal is such foul shape?

Listen to Kurt, it definitely does need a vet. If you could answer more of the questions in my above post, though, I may be able to at least give you some advice. But, please take it to get professional care as soon as you can!

I bought this toad online (that's the only place you can buy them I think). It's a gamble buying animals online. The other two I bought are fine, it's just this one.
I know it sounds cruel, but I'm not sure if it's worth taking it to the vet. In live in Montana, so most people here don't even know what the f*** a toad is...I'm not going to pay a lot of money for someone to tell me that they don't know what's wrong. But maybe I should just do it. I would like advice, though (and yes, I know that it's no substitue for a professional opinion).

Thanks for helping me. Forums like this are crucial for someone who doesn't have access to a lot of information. I have the internet, and that's basically it.

Well, if you care about the animals well being and life for that matter, you'll take it to a vet. I don't think it'll be THAT expensive.

Well, I found the poor guy dead this morning.

Just so people know, I got it from Backwater Reptiles.

This is one of the reasons I hate buying wild-caught animals. Some of you might think it's my fault that it was sick. It isn't. The toad was very sick when I got it in the mail (which was Tuesday). I'm not even sure if it's the seller's fault. It's just life.

I'm sorry for the loss of him. I know buying online is often very risky. Hopefully none of the others will fall ill. Was this one in quarantine?
