This thread is around a year old; but because it's referenced a lot, decided to add my 2 grains of salt. In reference to frog care, most members here are willing to go to the extremes to save our frogs. That includes (and is documented in forum threads) driving long distances to see a veterinarian and spending many times the cost of replacing that frog. To us our frog is no different a pet than a dog or a cat. I've been lucky so far with mine (knock on wood); but have spend more than 10X the cost of a fish to save his silly butt.
We should refrain from judging other's action; because by limiting others we are asking to be limited ourselves. Always try to recommend visiting a veterinary during emergencies when available; but when not... then what? It's about choices, risk management, and the wallet ($$$)! Dr. Frye is an option that has saved many a frog in here. As a matter of fact, I wish there were more Dr. Frye's in USA and the rest of the world!
No one here is being forced to do anything! You want to let your sick frog die? That is your choice! Travel 300 miles to a vet? Your choice too! Spend $300 to save a $30 frog? Guess what... your choice!
Protect your choice to decide what is good for you, the family, and your pets. Read, learn, educate yourself so no one can take the freedom to decide for yourself! Just saying!
