    Yeah, it's no problem. I just know how worried I was about my frog when it happened and il try and help anyone else out who may be going through the same thing. Haha I never understood or thought that I would love having frogs as pets just as much as cats and dogs, until I got these guys.. And some people make fun when you are excited about decorating there tank or making them a fogger, but whatever lol they just don't understand. I love my frogs in the same way I love and care for my cats and just the same as I would get help for my cats, I would do for my frogs if and when they need it.

    She is probably fine, I'm sure she was freaked out by it but she will get better I'm sure if u just giver her a day or two.

    I've added a pic I found of right after I took my frog to the vet. You can tell just by his colors that he was stressed out by the visit, but he soaked in the water and was fine after. Like I said, I didn't feed him for a week after this pic was taken, just to make sure it didn't happen again. And for that week I also kept him in his hospital tank.



    This is a pic of Bitty that I actually took last night, because I added one of my baby frogs last night.. So I was in there checking on them periodically.


    But as you can see he's all better
    I'm sure your frog will pull through

    Last night I checked on her and the prolapse had gone back in and this morning is still the same. I'm going to leave her quarentined for about a week but I'm wondering if I can start to give a very small cricket after a few days. I hate the thought of her going a week without food.

    I would feed her something softer like night crawlers for s bit until the area heals more.
