My african clawed frog fell out of her tank. she was missing for a couple of hours. when we found her she was covered in dog hair. we rinsed her off and put her in some water. she has dark spots on her back and on her legs. she is barely moving. what do we do?

   If a frog escapes and is found dried up, do not assume it is dead. They have amazing powers of revival. Place the frog in a shallow bowl of tank water with its nostrils above the water to allow it to breathe. Let the frog rest in the water and watch carefully for movement of the nostrils. It can take several hours for the frog the rehydrate. Once the frogs is able to swim a bit, keep it in a bucket with a few inches of water (or lower the water level of the tank) so it can reach the surface easily for air while it regains strength. Be patient, and do not attempt to feed the frog until it is fully recovered.
   
   Good luck, I hope he recovers.

do you have a dog? I only have ADFs so I am not sure what to tell you other than put it in a tank with some stress formula stuff (like stressdex) to help it recover. otherwise- I would put a lid on your tank, if we didnt have one on ours I'm sure our frogs would jump out regularly. Lids are a good idea.

This is great advice, If I could add to your reputation again I would.
