    Separate the injured frog. Swab the reddened area as well as all wounds with Bactine. It is very effective in reducing infection. Repeat the procedure twice daily until clear. Reduce stress by covering the critter keeper with brown paper. Frog Forum - Basic Frog First Aid care sheet will help. Good luck and hope all goes well for your frog

    Ok, I put her in quarantine and used the Bactine on her leg. This morning when I woke up she was on the side of the quarantine tank. Now the good thing is she is more alert than normal, green, and her leg looks a little less swollen. The redness has also went down. Bad thing is the skin broke and now the muscles are showing in her thigh, however that's not imparing her movement.. I put more bactine on it this morning to try and prevent any more infections from popping up.. I still can't take her to the doctor until next Wed.. Any other first aid advice??

    *UPDATE*

    Poor frogette is still having issues.. Her poor leg is still swollen, just not as bad. She still has her thigh muscles showing through the broken skin. I've been keeping Bactrine and Neosporin on it, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I will be taking her to the vet on Saturday as an emergency visit (due to me not getting paid til Friday). Anyone have any other ideas that I could do to facilitate healing that I'm not already doing?? She ate a cricket the other day.. I would greatly appreciate any help!!
