    ^ I agree. You don't want them to become blind since they hunt by sight. These guys depend on you for everything, please don't let them down. Also keep us posted on these guys.

    Aaaand, we're back. Both toads are much better. They were put on a regiment of two rinsings and a dab of Neosporin once a day. The first was still looking fine but I didn't want to take any chances. The second took a few days, but he's looking great now:

    And here he is tonight in the hospital tank doing his favorite thing in the world: eating everything in sight.

    Good to hear they're doing better. Make sure not to get the Neosporin in their eyes.

    Yeah, definitely. I talked to Dr. David Frye (I saw him recommended in a few different places for herp care) and while he couldn't offer treatment for wild-caught toads, he advised me to get antibiotic eyedrops. They don't sell such a thing over the counter so I made do with Neosporin. I've been doing a dab on the top of the eye ridge and another day below the eye. I've been very careful to avoid getting it on the eye or membrane, and it's been working nicely so far.
