Injury

[Kurt]

That sore looks a little bit angry! I would have him cheched out by the vet as soon as possible.

I don't have anything sharp in the tank that I know of. I was looking and feeling and I couldn't see anything. This may sound silly, but can they get sores like that if they fight? That is my biggest worry. I made an appointment to check for infections and such on Saturday. Closest vet is about 2 1/2 hours away. Any advice on making his trip easier on him? I am open to suggestions!

And thank you so much guys for your help!!
Don't know what I would do without it

I'm new, so I don't have any advice from previous experience. Just well wishes that everything goes well tomorrow!

Transporting White's Tree Frogs

Kurt had some really good advice in this thread, and ofcourse i did too. haha

[KaylaSt]

His injury went from bad to worse. His sore has turned white and he has turned completely brown. His appointment is in hours... I hope he makes it. I am really wanting him to get better. Any advice?

I'm rather worried - it sounds like he's under a lot of stress so he's going to need a lot of luck to get through this.

Keep us updated Kayla! When transporting him, just try to get the conditions as close as possible to his tank so not to stress him more. Since it's a long trip, can you bring someone to help spray down the transport container. One thing I did was literally take the thermometer/humidity gauge off my frogs normal tank and put them on the container tank so I could monitor as much as possible. Give him a place to hide so he can feel a little more safe. Also, I put a towel around the tank and covering just 1/3 to 1/2 of the lid so he could get some good ventilation but also help keep heat in the tank since it's cold (like you) where I am. Best of luck!

I had to transport one of my lil' guys last week. I put a small amount of his normal substrate into a small plastic container, along with a plastic plant. I misted the container and substrate thoroughly and placed a microwavable heat pad under half of the container. I pierced several small holes into the lid (before putting the frog in of course!). My guy survived the journey just fine, even though he was only in the container for an hour or so.
