He made it...

Glad toad made it. When my frog had surgery, my vet said 48hrs before he could eat.
Kurt great idea on opening a frogs mouth. I am going to have to try that one.

If he doesn't perk up in a couple of days, you may want to consider force-feeding him.

I hate the smell of Baytril. They use it to treat so many things in reptiles, amphibians, birds, and small furry creatures.

I think it smells quite nice
Great news though!! I got woken up in the night by the crickets chirping, so went to move them into a cupboard somewhere. I also had a quick peek at the frog tanks and saw that both frogs were wide awake. I decided to try and feed the sick one, and offered him a (dusted) meal worm. He snatched it greedily out of my hand. I was sooooo happy! I gave another 2 and left it at that as I wasn't sure would be a safe amount after 2 weeks of not eating (I know with mammals you should start giving small amounts often rather than one big meal straight away). He had another one after I gave him his baytril this morning. I'm so unbelievably over the moon as I really thought I was going to lose him at one point.

That's so excellent, well done.

Thank you! Was definatly worth the £74 vet bill! My other half doesn't think so... He said I should have just chucked Toad over the garden fence and got a new frog, as they only cost £33

Oh no, He really does not get it. My partner is only just starting to get my froggy fetish now and it's been over five years of frogs (mind you, I think he might think that if it came down to the crunch... i might/would pick the frogs lol) so hopefully time will mend that for you too.
