Badly badly injured Bullfrog

[yug0]

Aaaaah thank you guys so much!! You guys are such a big help oh my gosh! It turns out that that white-ish stuff around his leg is new skin, and his wound looks like it is slowly healing up!! His leg is far less swollen too. I'll try and get some of the unflavored pedialyte stuff tomorrow...I hope the pet store has it! I just started feeding him worms today, it seems he likes those better than crickets because he swallows them almost immediately. Still wont eat them off of tweezers, however.
Here's a picture I took of him, he's lookin' good! (you might have to click on it to see it better, however)

Yeah, way to go, Yugo! I am no vet, but intuitively I would first clean his wound thoroughly, then sew the wound (with thread and needle) or glue (this may be too toxic for the frog, however) the skin back on the wound to seal it off. Then resume with antibiotics, pedialyte solution soak, and force feeding.

There are some areas of the leg that really look bad. Anything that is turning black is very bad and is dead tissue. If the leg begins to become gangrene it would be in a state that would most likely need to be amputated. Of course only a vet can do this so fingers crossed that it doesn't become to far gone.

It does look better overall. Keep up what you're do g and try and get some more antibiotics if possible. His eyes are very clear and alert. and his skin color is good so he is slowly recovering.

His leg looks sooo much better in that video, you are doing an amazing job. I cringed the whole time you fed him (I don't know if I could do it so points to you for doing what's right.) Hope he continues to heal as he's been doing and starts eating on his own soon!

How is the Frog doing?

Hi guys, sorry for not responding!! My internet wen't out! But, my dad went to the vet to ask what the right thing to do would be (I'm too young to drive yet, but the vet is a herpetologist so YEAH) And unfortunately, they can't save his leg or him...not even amputate it. They're going to have to put him down...

[Faith]

So sorry to hear that but like everyone said here, you did an amazing job with him! I think you'd be a wonderful phib owner (now or in the future.)
