    Thank you so much. I actually work for a regular vet, so she's going to work with me today since she unlikely requires the stronger lighting. I have cleaned her cage of the mossy substance in the bottom and switched to a paper towel. I mixed some polysporin with spring water to drip into her eye last night. It looks like the swelling may have reached it's peak or the polysporin is working. Thanks for the help. I will keep you posted.

    You are lucky to be able to have access to a vet like that. I usually take my frogs in just a critter keeper with a moist paper towel, then put them in an incubator at work. That way, I can keep them warm and control the humidity (keep towel wet/moist, water bowl, etc).

    How is your frog?

    The vet I work for gave me a better anti-bacterial to put on her eye. We could actually get it to stay on her eye. She perked up a bit earlier today and I started to hope. Unfortunately she died about an hour ago. Thank you so very much for your help.
