    Thumbs up CPR for a toadlet from a new guy

    hi all.
    new to this site fella here, glad to find a forum of this nature. (bad pun intended)
    kept toads for many many years, couple huge RES turtles also live with me, along with cats, dogs, fish, mice and a horse, all rescue animals.
    not too long ago i rescued a pantload of t'poles from a tire rut, approx 300.
    i gave 50ish to a friend, kept the rest.
    but for under 10 remaining toadpoles, they've all become toadlets with almost no mortality at all.
    anyway, i'd been keeping my eye on a couple who were about ready to start enjoying air over water but i got called out to rescue a monstrous snapping turtle.
    i get home and sure enough, one of the two changelings was blue/grey, stiff, and dead on the bottom of the tank.
    i netted him but knew it hadn't been really long so i started ultra gentle chest compressions with a finger and blowing air in his face.
    after about 15 minutes his tiny arm twitched.
    few minutes later he was semi conscious.
    when he wasn't wobbly i put him into the dry tank with his siblings and observed for a while.
    after 20 or so more minutes he walked off and became lost in the crowd.
    see pics of the zombie toadlet, the turtlesaurus rescue and the crowd.
