Terrible mishap - dehydrated frog :(

[GrifTheGreat]

Thank you, I'll send my husband out to look for the unflavored Pedialyte. I was wondering if the dark splotches are where his skin has been damaged from drying out... ?

It is very possible. Hopefully he will be fine and just needs time to heal.

He has had his electrolyte bath - is just one enough?

He looks a bit better today and is moving around some. Tomorrow we are going to try to hand feed him and make sure he gets a full belly.

i had a pacific treefrog that my neighbors put in a dry net cage in the sun and the skin shrunk around it and it got those dead treefrog colors
i put it in water and 2 hours later it sprang back and has been fine ever since
miracles happen so just be patient and dont give up
it's not over until it's over

Keep giving him the baths for about a week to make sure he stays hydrated.

Hope the little guy pulls through! I'd always wondered what you could do if they got too dehydrated, wonderful tip with the Pedialyte (I'd have never thought to try that but we always have it on hand for the kids, both flavored and non.)

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the help! He is doing much better - his skin is returning to normal and he's even been croaking.
