Please help - terrible RETF accident!!!

[Bolisnide]

Betadine contains iodine which is toxic to the frog. Can't even use Hydrogen Peroxide.

Thank you for your time and help. I'll just wait to see what dr. frye recommends. As apparently, the vets in my town are of no help! And this is all completely my fault. I just want to make her better

I know how you feel. I am treating a sick frog and have been for the better part of a month and a half.

You're welcome.

I hope your sick frog gets better soon..
Have you've found that frogs take longer to recover from illness, injury? I mean compared to other animals, such as cats or dogs?

I am of no help, but I just wanted to remind you that accidents happen and be easy on yourself! Hugs for you and hope your baby gets better soon! I would say that if the eye it's self is ok, then cleanliness is the best!

Thanks, hon! I know accidents happen, but I still feel awful. I'll feel so much better when she gets better.
I think you're right, her eyeball is fine, so she is probably just really bruised? if I keep things as clean as possible, she definitely has a better chance of avoiding infection.

Bolisnide,
GrifTheGreat is really 'GrifTheGreat'
You got it right away!
What else ( topical medication ) do you have on hand besides neosporin?

I would wait until you hear from Dr Frye about anything near the eye.
The saline is different compared to say............sterile water.
And there could be preservatives in some products that may sting or irritate.

Extra.........clean........... soaks for him?
I'm sure you know to keep the soaking dishes as spotless as possible !
Clean often with the hottest water possible and lots of friction when cleaning and drying.
Do you have any Metronidazole? You could make a VERY diluted solution to clean the soaking dishes with.

Thank you Lynn~
yes, very clean water dish.
other products on hand:
rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, hibiclens (chlorine gluconate solution 4.0%).. none of these i can use.
maybe I can use the hibiclens to wash the water dish?
Can I get metronidazole via pet meds? I'll check.
Emailing dr. frye now that I have moment.
Here is a current picture of my frog right after shedding tonight. she looks better?
