Injury

[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.

I'm having a similar problem with one of my red eyes! He has a spot just like the one shown in your picture but it's on his leg. It hasn't gotten any worse or better in the last 3 days. He's still eating, and is still bright green, but I'm very worried as to what this could be. Have you heard from the vet yet?

I hope everything turned out well! we are all anxious to hear back from you!

So he is all better now and both of my little guys are doing great!! I am so happy. I took him to the vet and she gave me a cream for it. It turns out it was a cricket bite that some bacteria got into and it was a little infected. It was a lot better very fast but it took till a couple days ago to heal completely. He does have a little scar but doing great! I thank everyone for their help and support!!

Thats awesome! So glad to hear it!

Sheesh, reading that was like watching daytime soaps, lol. So glad he's doing better... was very worried as I was reading down the thread. I am a new owner so not much practical help, but very glad to hear he's all better. Rotton cricket! <g>
