HELP: Budgetts prolapse...!

[arielgasca420]

Prepare a bath of Luke warm de-chlorinated water with 4 drops of honey dissolved in the bath. Soak for 20 minutes or until swelling recedes. You can use a Q-tip to gently place the prolapse back in when swelling has receded.

just a few questions on the honey bath; can I use raw honey? and would it benefit the frog at all to do this bath soak when there is nothing wrong?

You can dissolve raw honey into the bath. Usually the bath is used to help the frog with constipation and impaction. It can provide a temporary energy boost and honey does have some antiallergen and antibacterial properties, but isn't really used for much more of a benefit other than to help reduce swelling in prolapse in place of sugar and assist in them using the bathroom.

yes you can overfeed they, they will continue to eat well after they are full.

Lol!! Wow!! Well I guess feed what you believe is enough and leave if at that. I do have to stop with my young female. She seems to just want to keep eating, but I know when she's full. When she does the hard swallow followed by what I call the belly roll then she is full.

I knew it was possible to overfeed. I may just think I am, but really he is getting enough to eat. I haven't fed him for two days now. Should I wait a week or wait another day? I think he's feeling better. He's gone back to trying to eat the bubbles from his bubbler, lol.

Wait another day and offer a couple night crawlers. Don't want to risk the prolapse conning back out. So only a small meal of something very soft and easily digested. Normally you want to wait a week for healing though even if he begs. He is probably fine, but I'd wait another day.

How is Sharky doing Kitten??

How is Sharky doing Kitten??

He is doing FANTASTIC! He's back to his ol' self. Everytime I pass his tub he tries to eat me through it. I've fed him 4 nightcrawlers in the past two days (two a night) and he's pooped (though, runny) just fine. His intestines haven't come back out. Also, when I go to put more water in his tub he tries to eat the stream of water, lol. He just tries to eat everything! Thanks for asking Grif and thanks so much for the advice! I was a bit scared at first, but am so glad he is doing so much better!
