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.

Which is great news. I hope the frog recovers. Thanks for what you are doing.

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...

Well the important thing is that you went out of your way to save the frog. No one here could ask for more than that. Thank you for trying.

So sorry to hear this. You did so much more than the majority of people would have done, thank you! You obviously have a big heart, thanks for doing the right thing!

I applaud you for being so caring and trying to save the living creature, it is so rare to have that quality especially in younger people ( you said you're too young to drive) you should be very proud of yourself and your parents should be extremely happy for having such a responsible daughter/son. You did so much for him, while so many people would just walk away. even in this forum there are so many threads of people asking for advice, but not willing to go to the vet and making million excuses not to help their own frog.

THANK YOU!

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.)

You guys are too nice...:') He's in a better place now, I'm sure he was in a lot of pain with that leg. I buried him in the forest next to the local park pond, and made him a grave marker.

[Faith]

That is adorable & very thoughtful. He's definitely living it up now in a better place
