My boyfriend dropped off the poo to the vet. He asked the doc what her change of recovery was and he gave her a 75% chance of a full recovery!!

I know it's been a few days but I have to tell you. She had more energy tonight for her feeding than I have seen in a very long time. Her color was amazing too! Haven't seen this color in a while either! I've been trying to feed her every other night, the first night was reptiboost crickets which was what, 5-6 days ago at 2 crickets? The second was multi-vitamin at 3 crickets, and tonight reptiboost, and I only managed to get 1 in there, I thought she was choking and I couldn't get her to hold still. I did pick up some liquid multi-vitamin and added it to her water, it says 2 drops per 50 g, so I did barely a drop. I put 2 crickets in last night and I think they either escaped and drowned in the water that keeps pooling around the bottom of the tank, or she actually ate them. I'll check in the morning. I will post pictures below and you can SEE the improvemet. I don't want to get too excited, but it's been a while since I've seen her like this. She actually jumped quite a bit while she was out too, she climbed up my wall, my arm and all around my hands. such a cutie. I feel a heavy weight slowly being lifted off my shoulders and heart!

Smallest hospital tank ever! He said restricted movement as much as possible.

I haven't seen her so green in so long!

I'm not sure what happened, but I thought she was choking on the cricket! she crawled up my arm and started squeezing herself and acted like she was going to throw up, then after a minute or two of crapping my pants she puffed her self out as large as possible and because OVERLY slimey...


Just thought to shared the best news in the world!

Hope your little Laputa heals up soon. Lynn is giving you good advice, do follow it. If frog starts eating by herself then it's a progress because even gentle handling is not going to help the broken bone mending. Good luck !

I think she's coming along well. I think I'm going to take her to the vet next week to make sure she is healing well. I fed her 3 crickets 3 days ago and I still have yet to see poo... I'm not sure if I should be concerned....?

For your aqua safe i use the same thing, its 10 drops to 1 gallon.

That's great news, glad to hear she's on the mend!
As far as the poo, didn't your boyfriend drop off a sample 3 days ago (above post). Every 3 days or so for a green frog to have a bowel movement is pretty normal....
Did the results come back from the vet from the sample?

[aegillesp]

I haven't heard back yet on the poo sample. She poo'd in her water last night. It was very... "Grainy" looking as far as what was floating all over the water. I really think the vitamin and calcium additives in her water are helping. She puts up such a fight now when I try to hand feed her. I have these beetles I get with the crickets I order. Can I try to feed those to her?
