How can I treat my very ill tiger-legged monkey tree frog? *graphic pics*

[Missi]

Here is my little guy. Just got him last week. I chose him because he was the largest of the group (all wild caught from Paraguay). I did notice he had a small wound on his elbow but I am a sucker for the "under dog" so I chose him anyhow, thinking it was a wound from being wild-caught & would heal when I got him home. Well, the first night home he got bitten by my Cuban knight anole, which are the wounds on his top side. He is since separated from the anole. His original wound he had on his elbow from before I brought him home just keeps getting bigger & bigger, almost like the flesh is just being eaten away now there are a couple similar wounds on his back leg that are not from the anole attack. Is this a disease? Infection? I just need to know how to make my little bugger healthy! Is there something I can treat him with? Thanks guys. Sorry to be so ignorant. Here are up close photos to his wounds:

Missi,
I am SO sorry your frog is so terribly injured.
You MUST seek the care of a vet ASAP.
This can NOT be treated by a lay person. Sorry

Thank you for your reply Lynn. I will search out a vet tomorrow. If I can find a vet that treats frogs. My area doesn't even have an avian vet

Thanks! I'll try the first one. The second one, Animalife, I took my gecko to & they couldn't find out what was wrong with her. They did a fecal exam & wormed her. She was wasting away (which is why I took her in) & ended up dying after all. They do a great job with my dogs though!!

Glad I could help. Hopefully your new frog pulls through.

[DonLisk]

Yes, those injuries need to be treated quickly. You can use a small amount of NEOSPORIN with NO pain killer on the open wound areas but make sure the NEOSPORIN has NO pain killer in it. That is NO pain killer.

Hope the vet can provide some help and needed care.

[ViperJr]

With all due respect, but it's probably not the wisest of choices to ignore a herpvet (in other words a veterainarin dealing with frogs (amongst other animals)) just because DonLisk gave another advice. I do very much respect DonLisk and thinks he is a knowledgeable frog owner, but the advice was just a general advice from the First Aid-article. This is of course good, but how can it not be better to listen to the advice from an actual herpvet?
Also, perhaps you often getaäs bactryl from a vet, but in this specific case Missi actually said it's not comming from a vet but from a private friend.

Missi: You are playing a risky game. First, dissmissing a herpvets advice, and then relying on a BIRD keeper to warn you if overdosing a frog. You said the friends been dealing with snakes and lizards, but that's quite irrelevant. Amphibians are reptiles are not close relatives. Birds and reptiles are much closer anyway.

Just my two cents.

[Missi]

Noted. Thanks.

I might add that this is all I can do until Saturday when I can actually see the vet so I personally feel it is better than doing nothing.

Just my personal feeling.
