hurt frog in wild

...and you can combine that with melafix treatment, that stuff is available from any pet store, petsmart will have it for sure, it is in fish section in blue tallish bottles. you prepare water as per directions on a bottle and soak the toad for 20 min and then wet paper towels that he sits on with that stuff too, you can use it to spray once in a while during a day as well.do that every day changing paper towels every day as well...

Thanks Lija, did not know you can use Melafix on frogs!
For Ribit: Make sure you read bottle instructions. There is a regular version (blue Bottle Lija mentioned) and a professional version that is 10 times stronger. It has a bactericide action although takes longer to work than regular antibiotics. For fish the recommended treatment is 10-14 days; would use for that period or until frog is well.

you can use anything that you'd use for fish not just melafix, of course depending on what the problem is.

Okay thanks! I will ask the vet tomarrow about broad spectrum a/b and Zinc ointment when we go get the babie goats disbudded! Thanks Could I use melafix on her face besides the Zinc, since it is easier to get it from the petstore?

I asked the vet today, and she was very surprised to see a toad brought into her office! I told her what was wrong with her, and she looked in her mouth. She said that she knows nothing about toads, but she will call someone and ask for their opinion. For now I think I will go pick up some Reptaboost, and some melafix from aquarium and pets over the weekend.

Don't be surprised about that, it's a blessing to have a local vet that knows lot's about frogs. Only thing local available for me is fecal exams . I would do the Melafix; it's a naturally occurring organic compound and very mild when used as directed.

she should check VIN if she is a member
then yeah, go with melafix, and there is also another one in the same fish section, also in bottles, looks like melafix, but is used for bacterial fish diseases, can't remember name now, you can alternate those 2 to cover all basis. how the toad is feeling now?

You mean Pimafix? It's primarily used against "fungus" but also has effect against internal bacteria and can be used together with Melafix.

[Lija]

yeah i think that one , don't remember, never used anything other then melafix from fish section.
i think there were 3 different bottles, melafix, pimafix and another ...fix whatever works for bacteria would be useful here.

Hi Lija! You have no idea; but with 51 years of keeping and breeding fresh and saltwater fish, you just opened pandoras box at home !

Another thing you might want to add to the tank is a place for the toad to hide under.
That will lessen the stress on the toad.

Being sort of grose, I picked the worm off of her rear end. So, it had to of been poop. Her wounds are good. I still have to hand feed her. She has free rang crickets in her cage, that she could eat. I counted 3 crickets when I put them in there, and i didn`t feed her for 2 days to see if she would eat on her own. She didn`t though. So I am still hand feeding her. She has a little cocunut hut in there for her to sit under too.
