Well, here's my little Twiggy all healed up minus some lovely blue scars.

Sometimes all you need is some patience, time, a 'sterile' (within proper frog requirements) environment, and basic first-aide frog care.

Twiggy had lived with geckos at a local pet store when I saved him. He had several abrasions when I brought him home.

I boiled regular tap water and dechlorinated all of his water for misting, substrate, and his water bowl. I also boiled his water bowl and house decor. And, of course, allowed it to cool.

Each day I sprayed the tank down, wiped with paper towels until squeaky clean and dry, and resprayed/misted, and washed his water bowl daily with the boiled dechlor water. Then placed new paper towel substrate.

I used a sterile Qtip to apply original neosporin (without the pain reliever, as that type is toxic to frogs), to only the wounds, then very gently misted over him allowing the mist to fall atop of him (not spray him).

He would not eat so I did 1:10 unflavored (plain) pedialyte to water (as prepared above) soak for a few days and also moistened a paper towel in the diluted pedialyte solution to pick him up with.

I would gently force feed him daily either a cricket or small dubia roach. I would remove the heads of both and the legs of the crickets. I continued to dust with calcium/vita D3 powder every other day and herptivite multivitamin powder every Sunday. I pick him up with the warm moistened paper towel for his feeding, rather than my hands. At first he would get anxious and try to jump out. He now just let's me pick him up and just looks at me. I talk to him very calmly & quietly throughout the process.

He still does not eat on his own but his wounds have healed, he has gained back his weight, started croaking/calling again, and hops around at night .

My only hope now is that he will start eating on his own again.

Either way, I love my little baby and will continue to give the extra TLC he needs.

Oh, I no longer boil his water or use the neosporin as his wounds have healed up. He is also on normal Eco earth substrate again and has live plants.

His healing process took about one month to the best of my memory.

Here are some pics of my special baby .



Oops! I got busted sneaking photos... Lol

You can his healed wounds here...
