    Wow, I'm so sorry to hear this news!
    From growing up with brittle bones; I can say your frog is probably in some pain you may want to get him to a vet tomorrow... See if they can do anything. I doubt they could splint it or cast it, considering its an amphibian, but maybe at least some sort of pain relief?

    I honestly don't know what to tell ya here
    Beat of luck though, I hope he heals soon!

    There is no external cut.

    I took him to the vet today. The good news it's just a fracture. The bad news is there is nothing they can do for it. They tried to splint it, and it didn't work. Therefore the best I can do for him is to keep him in a small container for 2 months so he can't move around much. That should help it heal on its own. I hate doing this... I don't think he is going to be happy in such a confined environment.

    They gave me a pain medication but he won't open his mouth to take it. I tried and it stressed him out, so I gave up.

    I hope he heals okay with no complications. Thank you all for the help and support!
