hurt frog in wild

[Mentat]

Hope frog does not have a broken jaw. From your Firebelly Toad days, please remember to de-chlorinate the water. Also, dusting worms with Calcium every other feeding would be of help now. Good luck !

Hi ribit,
Be sure the Neosporin ( or any topical antibiotic) is WITHOUT pain reliever !

Good luck with him
There is a vet you could email:

Dr Frye's fee is for the medication he prescribes - only
He may have a better solution for broken skin near the mouth and eye.

I have been washing out the toads water dish two times a day. I just got done feeding it a worm. If it has a broken jaw then I guess i will just make it my toady pet, and hand feed it. I was wondering how many worms to feed it a day? I might start feeding it some crickets as well. I will look at the vets web sight for sure! Do you guys want me to post some pics of the toads mouth? Thanks!!!

Ribit, welcome to FF, that is very nice of you what you did, he would die otherwise, but it is not out of the woods yet

yes please post pics of the mouth. i would do following as of now. get broad spectrum antibiotics from a vet, you'll need to drop a few drops on frogs's back oce a day most likely depending on what kind of a/b you'll get + zinc ointment for outside of his mouth. I wouldn't worry too much about worms now, but if you can hand feed him and he doesn't seem to be too stressed out then do that, but don't overdo it, at this point I'd feed reptiboost and do unflavoured pedyalite bath ( 1 part of pedyalite, 6-8 parts of water), repeated every day.
make sure he is in hospital set up, all 4 sides of the tank covered with wet papertowels if possible, substrate wet papertowels as well, you need to change all that every day. put a hide of some sorts in there, plastic plant may be, anything to minimaze stress. make sure no direct light is shining at a toad.

I will put paper towls on the side of her cage. Were can you purchase the Zinc ointment, and the reptiboost? I will put a plastic plant in there to. She just has enough sunshine on her, not to much, and not to little. She has been moving around more, and going in and out of her water bowl.

It sounds like you can only get the zinc ointment from a vet? You should be able to get the reptaboost from any pet store (Petsmart, Petco). I am glad she is eating for you and moving around. Can you get her to a vet to look at her mouth?

[ribit]

I will go get her some reptaboost as soon as possible.Probabaly on Saturday. i just stuck a fake plant in her cage as well. Im not sure that there are any vets in my area that now a lot about toads though. is there anything that I could put on her mouth that I could get from the Petco or petsmart, or is there any natrual remadies I could put on her mouth?
