Badly badly injured Bullfrog

[yug0]

Thanks for the support, guys! The feeding/medicine process is still hard. He won't eat, so I have to pry his mouth open with my pinkie finger and put a crushed one in his mouth. He doesn't seem to mind that, but he HATES his medicine. I've been dissolving it in water and putting it in a syringe, then putting it in his mouth. He likes to spit it out...I'll bet it doesn't taste good. SO I have to hold his mouth closed, and he swallows it eventually. I know it's stressful for him, but if he wants to get better, it's what has to happen. I've only been washing his wound with water, and then adding neosporin- is there anything else i should do to it?

That's the best you can do for cleaning his wound. Maybe gently swab it with a cotton swab or cotton ball, but you can't use any cleaners or alcohol or else they'll kill him. they're extremely sensitive and absorb water and other things through the skin.

You may also want to go out and buy some UNFLAVORED PEDIALYTE and prepare a bath at a 10 to 1 ratio. So for every 10 ounces of water add 1 ounce of UNFLAVORED PEDIALYETE. it must be unflavored. Soak him in that solution for 20 minutes a day. Also the water for his bath should be de-chlorinated and Luke warm. Be sure its not too deep. Only half his height so he doesn't drown.

Thanks!
He's doing okay, but it's extremely extremely hard to feed him and give him medicine. He wont eat if i put crickets in his cage still, so i'm stuck with prying his mouth open, and he HATES it. He always is pushing my hand away or pushing my fingers out with his tongue and hands. Eventually, i can put the crickets in his mouth. This process alone takes like a half an hour, the little stinker just hates it. And I don't blame him. The medicine is the same way, he's like "NOPE". He gets so stressed out that his foot leaks red and turns bright red. When he's calmer, its more brown...yikes.
Is there ANY easier way to this? I just want him to be more comfortable...

He will have to be force Fed until he Regains his strength. You could use a plastic spoon flipped upside down to open his mouth and place the food or antibiotic in. I would try and get some night crawlers and force feed him chunks of those. They're easier for him ti eat and digest. This will be stressful no matter what. Just be patient and do your best.

[yug0]

Yessss, nightcrawlers! They are MUCH easier to handle. Around his injury, a strange color has formed...is it regenerating, or decaying? I cannot really tell.
Here's a picture:

Yeesh, that doesn't look very good. Looks like decay but I could be wrong.. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Thanks for helping out this beautiful creature first off. I know force feeding is hard but your keeping him alive. On the newly developed color, does it smell (the wound)? Decay and infections usually smell either funky or sweet.
