All the while, s/he's sitting in his/her back corner of the tank in the little burrow it's made. I left for maybe 10 seconds, and thought s/he'd stay where s/he was. God was I wrong... came back and s/he decided to jump into where the water used to be. Smack on top of the wet sealant. I know people arent supposed to let their bare hands touch it so I cannot imagine what it'll do to my frog. It only got on his/her front right foot. I immediately ran the foot under water and tried to get off as much as possible. S/he's now soaking in a honey bath and it looks like s/he's shedding?? Will my frog be okay or do I need to look into going to a vet?? Right now s/he's acting feisty and fine, but it's only been a couple of minutes.
    Please help! I don't know if my panic is warranted but I don't want to under react either
    I would be sure that the skin that had the sealant on it does not get ingested. Keep him/her in the bath for a while and make sure you keep a close eye on him/her. Be sure you have a Vet on hand incase something changes.

    Now I have to ask why you were using a sealant while the frog was in the enclosure? Sealants like silicone release toxic fumes that can and will kill the frog. People make mistakes, but you must use better judgement. Let this be a learning experience for you and try and remain calm.

    Keep an eye on him and do your best to not allow him/her to ingest any of the sealant. Keep him/her in a separate enclosure while the sealant cures.

    Keep me posted.
