Vet appointment at last...

[spooky]

I've finally found a vet within a reasonable distance from me that is willing to have a look at my poor White's. I'm soooo happy as I was getting really worried. He's not eaten in 2 weeks, and was looking really unhappy (he's seperated from my other White's who is showing no signs of any discomfort and is eating like a pig and singing like a canary!!)
Had a look at the wound on his foot and was disgusted to see that most of the flesh on the middle toe on his back foot has gone and just a piece of bone is showing. It's pretty grim. Fingers crossed that the vet will know what to do tomorrow!!!

Good luck!

Thank you Kurt! Will post an update tomorrow

[John]

Good luck from me too.

[Kurt]

You're welcome.

Good luck Spooky, I hope all goes well.

Me too I inspected his toe today and I've decided that it's not bone that is visible but dried flesh. It occured to me that maybe the bone in a frog's leg doesn't go all the way to the end of the toe. Especially in tree frogs where they haver their pads. I'm hoping that it will be a case of trimming the dead flesh off and giving antibiotics. Fingers crossed!!!

I wish you and your critter luck. I wish I had a herp vet that was not a four hour drive away. I can get fecals done here, but most anything else requires me to diagnose the issue myself and then beg my doggie vet to help me out getting/administering meds. I have been very lucky so far, but I fear the day is going to show up where I have an issue I cannot solve myself.

I know what you mean, the vet I saw today wasn't a herp vet but he said he'd be able to do a toe amputation (have to take Toad, as he's been named, back on Friday). I was also told to put honey or Aloe Vera on his wounds, and antibiotics will be administered after the op. I'm so happy to have found a vet willing to help me out
