    How is he doing today? Has the neosporin changed his wounds at all?
    The wounds on her body are significantly improved. They have shrunk in size by about 1/3 and don't seem as blue/bruised. She has shed every night since the accident? I never noticed her shedding so frequently, but I am paying much more attention now, so perhaps it's normal to shed daily? Her appetite has diminished slightly. She has gone from anywhere from 0-6 crickets/night to about 0-3/night (she ate zero crickets last night, 3 the night before, 2 the night of her accident, and unknown tonight). Her eye is pretty much the same as in the first photo I posted. No improvement on her eye, but not draining or changing in color in any way. The eye wash I had on hand was simply sterile saline in which I diluted 1:1 with boiled, treated water. She did not like it dropped on/in her eye, which I did when she was awake and before her shed (next time I'll wait until she's asleep as not to stress her out?). She looked a little pissed at me (but no near as pissed when I hurt her). I have the feeling it was the kind of pain that felt good, and she kind of looked at me like she knew I was trying to help. All the times I applied neosporin she was asleep...
    The meds from dr. fryes office will be here tomorrow. I'll start right away and post some more pics soon.
    By the way, anyone know if the residual neosporin from the past few days needs to be rinsed off before I start the SSD cream?
    Thanks again..

    Here are some photos from a few minutes ago.
    She didn't eat any crickets yet tonight, which is somewhat unusual.
    And is sleeping already? The lights only went out 3 hours ago.
    I am starting to get worried of her lack of appetite.
    BTW, I say she/her because she has never made a peep. Not one, not even when she was injured. She could be a boy? The frog is about 1.75 inches long...

    And... just noticed the hard water spots all over her tank glass. The photos really bring it out I guess. While she's healing, should I use only bottled spring water as opposed to treated well water?
